CURRENT MISSION

Keep pushing myself out of my comfort zone

ABOUT ME

I drink tea, read blogs, and wish I were a polyglot. I'm from Rhode Island, the smallest state in the United States, and I grew up 10 minutes from the beach. I graduated from university in May, and after spending the summer interning in Washington DC, I'm now backpacking around Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible" -Edwin Land

"No hay cambio sin conflicto" -María Palacín

"There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing"

My apologies that I turned "personal philosophy" into favorite quotes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm surfing and meeting cool people, but someday I want to have a couch of my very own (probably in Boston) and host people from all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed twice, but both experiences were great! My hosts were helpful and generous.
