CURRENT MISSION

Make my way through New Zealand, Australia and SE Asia

ABOUT ME

Not quite a nerd, not quite an introvert, definitely a workaholic. I strive to be honest and low-maintenance. I crave travel more than any other single action, so I have decided to feature it in my life before any real responsibilities kick in, traveling as often as I can and as long as I can right NOW. I travel light and hope to get really good at traveling lighter, and I want to put myself in the company of as many different people in as many unique scenarios as I can.

Places I want to travel to most at this point in my life: Morocco, Ireland, Spain, Thailand, Malaysia, New Zealand, Australia, Nepal, Madagascar, Iceland, Colombia, Amazon River

PHILOSOPHY

I've always been driven mainly by academic success, and only in the last few years have I started to realize my other needs besides the practicality of a college education and a stable job, bla, bla. I know I need to spend more time developing deep personal relationships, hobbies and self-satisfying interests, and ways to use my privileges to help others and the environment.

I value the connections made between people because at the end of the day I believe that's all we have and all we'll ever have. So why argue? Just talk and love and try to find joy where you can.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very new to Couchsurfing as an organization, but I am no stranger to visiting friends and crashing on couches. Those experiences are always wonderful, exciting, heartwarming, hectic, beautiful... the list goes on forever. Travel has been a huge part of my life and soon will be my whole life for the better part of a year. When I settle down somewhere, I hope to return all the favors my friends have done me, and those that you helpful strangers out there will do as well (fingers crossed!).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My official couchsurfing experience is nill, I have to this point managed to visit friends and get internships with housing in all the places I've traveled. But whether it be party or chill, serious or silly, indoor or outdoor, dirty or clean, I'm ready for anything.
