CURRENT MISSION

Im tired of doing the norm that the rest of the world follows. I'm ready to go out and see the natural, unnatural, the unseen, the beautiful.

ABOUT ME

I'm a student in Long Beach, california but I am studying abroad in Tübingen, Germany for two years.. I'm living in Tübingen right now and study German there.

In my spare time I go rock climbing, or, weather permitting, slack-lining in the park. Would like to go hiking and camping more, but its hard since I don't have a car or a tent here in Germany.

I love everything about being outdoors
I try and stay as open minded and open to new experiences as one can be.

PHILOSOPHY

haven't really discovered my own yet- guess thats kinda why I'm doing this, something that will help me experience the world and create my own perspective on things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this time, I am only able to surf. My contract at my apartment doesn't really let me have guests, and the landlord is pretty strict on it.
Once I get back to the states I am hoping to be able to host there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't been able to be involved so far, but looking forward to start at some point. A few friends and myself tried surfing in Great Britain last semester break but it didn't work out since everyone else was on break.

Heard nothing but good experiences from everyone I know who has done it so far though :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

ive been all over the united states. when i was young, i traveled with my parents (driving everywhere). along with my two sisters and brother we have been to over 40 states in the us, and seen basically everything in either direction on the way.

After two years in Germany, I haven't seen as much as I would have liked to, but heres where I have been so far:
Germany (mostly south, but Köln and Berlin as well)
Austria (Wien)
Switzerland (Zürich, all over Wallis)
England (London, Cambridge, Liverpool, Manchester)
Ireland (Dublin, Cork, Killarney)
Egypt (Hurghada, Luxor)

Teach, Learn, Share

I haven't surfed or hosted yet, but something that I have learned from living abroad for two years in a country where I basically didn't know the language when I first got here, is that you just need to go for it. Put yourself in that awkward positing that you have been avoiding your whole life and enjoy every second of it.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Egypt, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, United States
