CURRENT MISSION

Travel to all the countries in Europe while I am still living on the continent during the next two years.

ABOUT ME

Easygoing and free-spirited... I enjoy a cold beer and a relaxed evening rather than downing vodka redbulls and fist-bumping to Swedish House Mafia.

One day, I will be a professor of Political Economy and own a pub near whichever university campus I teach at.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be excellent to each other"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While living in Macedonia, I enjoyed both hosting and surfing with lots of guests from around the world. Now I have moved back to the United States and am living in Los Angeles. If I am free somedays, I would love to meet up with people in the city who are visiting the US.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first couch surfing experience, I have been living in Europe now for almost a year and would like to get out more and see new places and meet new people.

Interests

Currently I am a Peace Corps Volunteer living in Bitola, Macedonia. I'm from the United States originally; born in Oberlin, Ohio and eventually relocated in Stillwater, Oklahoma. I've since lived in South Korea and currently am living in Southeastern Europe.

I study international economics, with a focus on Former Yugoslavia and transition politics and I enjoy traveling, coffee, and volunteering.
