CURRENT MISSION

To obtain my MA in Geography at UGA

ABOUT ME

When younger I lived in Mexico and Canada as well as all over the US. I love to travel and in fact find that I cannot function very well if I don't get out of the city every now and then. I have family in both WA and GA so I travel across the country atleast once a year. Other than that, I am a full time student working on my master's degree in Human Geography at the University of Georgia.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy would be to allow new experiences to occur and to be open to new realizations while letting go of previous attachments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just learned about the "couch surfing" project and I would love to host those coming into town. I am also looking for a Seattle contact this summer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first "CS" experience July 2008 in Capitol Hill,Seattle, WA. It went very well. I am highly impressed with this site so far.

Other than that, I've mostly slept on couches or floors as I travelled to various anti-war or human rights protests all over the East coast of the US.

Interests

I am driven by learning new languages, seeing things I haven't seen before, understanding people, and helping people to become more open-minded and concerned.
