ABOUT ME

I drift towards unconventionality in most aspects of my life, mostly out of curiosity. I am an introvert but love finding new people. I refer to this as "adopting". DC is such a strange place, no one is ever from here, and most people don't stay for long, so I always excited to add a new member to the family.

I am hard working, mercurial, curious, adventurous, opinionated and passionate.

I work as a bartender, which I love.

I am studying Sign Language and live near the oldest Deaf University in the world. I am lucky to be so close to the Deaf community.

Also I look angry all the time but I'm just thinking. It's just my face:)

I love giving out opinions and tips, if you have any questions about ANYTHING please ask.

PHILOSOPHY

Like the Jellyfish, I want to go with the current. And then eat myself in a vinegar salad :)

I try to live a life that is as open and honest as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am trying to travel more myself, but I would like to open my house up soon to travelers. As soon as I can get a cozy space together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, but I am an experienced backpacker.

I spent three months bumming around Europe, and I am trying to bring a bit of that back home to the states right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped off cliffs in Italy to get over my fear of heights.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being yourself is the best thing you can possibly do for yourself and others, and incredibly hard.
Favorite Quotes:
