About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn and see the most I can.

ABOUT ME

Currently en route to Egypt! Hope to meet you on the way!

I've lived in Austin, TX for four beautiful years but am moving on to see more of this world. I study Arabic and am hoping to put it to use in Cairo! I've had the excellent opportunity to travel in the Middle East and Europe and am always looking to explore more. I've found the best learning is done through experience so I aim to experience the most I can when the opportunity presents itself. I love to tell stories and get to know new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Kind, curious, honest, cooperative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't currently host people because I'm travelling. Hopefully I will be settled and able to host someday soon :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed with several hosts in the US and abroad, all great times! We have also hosted many surfers at my house in Austin and I've met some cool folks on here. I hope to expand my couchsurfing experiences in the future and share my home more often!
