CURRENT MISSION

to find a job and learn at least two more languages! And to do something epic, like bike across China.

ABOUT ME

I'm a bit of a wanderlust, definitely a coffee-lover, always looking for a new challenge. I absolutely love to travel, usually by myself since then it's easier to meet people and to go at my own pace. I play rugby and love all sports; my travel has taken me throughout China and Tibet. I love taking photos but couldn't call myself a good photographer. Maybe someday.

I'm in school until May 2008, and then I'm moving out to San Francisco. Currently I can't host, since I live in a dorm, but hopefully I will be able to start offering my couch once I get my own apartment.

PHILOSOPHY

there's this Chinese poem that little kids memorize - the gist of it is, if you want to see a thousand more miles into the distance, just climb one more floor. As in, always keep moving and trying new things, because the smallest change will expand your horizons more than you might expect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't really done much, yet! I'm hoping to stay on couches in Europe while I travel there this break, and once I graduate from college I'll start hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed in Paris with Guillaume, Tyare and their baby Taina. Fantastic experience with a lovely family.
