CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world, and live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

My family is American, and I was born in Massachusetts. I lived all my life there, and studied at 2 different high schools. I finished high school last year, and decided to take a year off before going to college.
I've always wanted to try living in a different country, and currently I'm living with my girlfriend in Valencia.

PHILOSOPHY

I love life, and live everyday to the fullest. I enjoy what I do, and I explore the world. I try to be myself, meet other people, and have a good time.

Carpe Diem - seize the day. Live each day fully.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to teach people about my culture, and about life living in the USA, and I also want to learn about other people's countries and cultures. The world is a really interesting place, and I'd like to meet people from everywhere and learn about other cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to CouchSurfing, so I don't have any stories or experiences to share, but soon I hope to meet people using the website :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done many crazy things, which I won't talk about here, hehehe...and I've visited many amazing cities all around the world, from New York City to Paris.

One amazing place I went to was the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, USA. It was one of the most amazing sights that I've seen. The canyon is 11 miles wide (17.7 kilometers)! I hiked down to the bottom, where I was surrounded by massive walls of rock, all with different layers of colors and beautiful flora and fauna. The temperature at the bottom was 120F (48C)!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people about American cuisine, I can teach American English, the art of origami, and many more interesting things.

I'd love to learn more of the Spanish language, and I'd some cooking recipes from other countries. Also I want to learn about other cultures, and how they are different and similar to mine.
