ABOUT ME

I'm a people person who's almost always smiling. People tell me I'm like no one they've every met before, but in a good way ;) Every morning as I get ready, I play music and dance poorly around my room. I like to get lost: in a good book, a film about a life that I'll never experience, in my own thoughts, a new city to explore. But, more than anything I love meeting new people! I'm on the pursuit of happiness.

PHILOSOPHY

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'" -On the Road

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During my Eurotrip I surfed many times and loved every experience. Since I can't travel as much with my studies, I like to meet up with travelers and live a bit vicariously through them lol.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a lot of wonderful people and became closer to friends I already knew along the way. If I had it my way, I would travel all the time- I love experiencing other walks of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've done is a tradition at my old undergraduate university Dartmouth. During the fall of each year all of the freshman gather together to create a 5 story bonfire, light it on fire, and then run around it as many times as your class year indicates (my class year was 2011, so 11 times or 111 if you're awesome). It sounds kind of barbaric, but it was fantastic doing a tradition that had been passed down for centuries and being with the Dartmouth alumni "family".
