ABOUT ME

I have recently gotten home after a year of traveling around the world. Currently I am looking for jobs and trying to re-adjust to a non-nomadic life. Its proving more challenging then anticipated! :P

I am a pretty laid back person. I enjoy good food, a good laugh, and kicking back and taking in the view.

PHILOSOPHY

"€œTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During my travels I participate in CS by surfing and going to meet-ups. Now that I am home, I plan on hosting in an attempt to return some of the hospitality that I received during my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed for the first time in Jerusalem and the West Bank, and it was an awesome experience! Since then I have been on the CS bandwagon and have not gotten off :)
