CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, meet new people, and see where it all takes me!

ABOUT ME

I revel in finding new experiences (traveling, exploring a new town, taking hang gliding lessons...anything that will expand my knowledge of the world and what's possible within it) and a good friend to share them with.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the active writer of your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We had a pretty active CS community in Charlottesville, and I've enjoyed potlucks, trivia nights, and beer tastings with those wonderful people. I've also surfed a bit in the US and Europe. Now that I can host I'm looking forward to giving back!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had fantastic experiences everywhere I've surfed and hosted so far, and expect many more to come.
