Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To go where many have gone before but in a way no one ever has
ABOUT ME
I'm currently a student at UPenn. I love to travel and was first introduced to CS by my sister during our travels in New Zealand. I hope to enjoy the service and one day host fellow surfers (when I have a permanent place). I study Digital Media Design and love arts and technology. I can get obsessive over projects and am generally nice, clean and timely. I like to sleep in as much as I like to go out. You'll remember me for my height.
PHILOSOPHY
I live to make a difference in the lives of those I meet, even if it's only for an instant.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Though still very new to the community I'm trying to become more adamantly involved. I tell as many people who will listen about the community and plan on contributing my own couch when I've finally settled down.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've Surfed throughout New Zealand where I got to meet many fascinating people. My favorite time was in Queenstown where my sister and I stayed in a house with a group of Czech roommates. The host, Vlad, didn't yet know he could turn people away from surfing so we were the 4th and 5th guest in the house which already had 5 roommates. Everyone there was great and we even celebrated a new roommate's arrival from the Czech Republic. The social experiencing of living in that immigrant house as a tourist in a foreign land made the trip unforgettable.
