CURRENT MISSION

In Rome for 3 months and trying to see as much of Europe as possible while I'm over here.

ABOUT ME

Just trying to get through school, figure out what to do with the rest of my life, and see a little bit of the world in between.
I'm from Kentucky, go to school in Chicago, and am currently studying in Rome. Looking to New York for grad school though, maybe after taking a couple years off after undergrad.

PHILOSOPHY

Not all who wander are lost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling is about learning about other cultures and yourself. You can't do either unless you talk to people when you go to new places. Life and self-definition is all based the relationships you make. This organization gives an opportunity to make those relationships.

None yet but I'm trying to change that :)
