CURRENT MISSION

To find some meaning in all this noise

ABOUT ME

I'm an arts student with my eye on teaching. But first, I have a lot of traveling to do! I really love to talk politics, movies and comedy. I'm very interested in history - if I had to pick a favourite historical topic it'd be the fall of the Roman Republic.

PHILOSOPHY

The golden rule is an oldie but a goodie. I'm not religious, but that's a philosophy I can get behind.

"And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused"
- Wordsworth, Tintern Abbey

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf, hope to host in future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed twice and had a blast! I can't wait to surf more.

Interests

I enjoy travel more than anything else. I can talk about movies and TV endlessly as well as books. I like hiking but I never get around to it (this is something I plan to work on!) I'm a big fan of comics - Bill Hicks, Dave Cross, Louis CK, George Carlin, Patton Oswalt are my favourites.
