CURRENT MISSION

Meet a lot of people, learn their languages/cultures, and understand their perspectives.

ABOUT ME

I'm a hardworking student who is slowly losing focus, in the hopes of seeing the world and living sustainably.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be afraid to let your philosophies change. Overexcessive pride and a closed mind won't help you in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started couchsurfing when I lived and traveled in France. I spent a lot of time couchsurfing in my own city while I took a year off from school, worked for free, and was homeless. I've met a lot of interesting people, and I can't wait to tap into this community in other places around the world. I think couchsurfing is the best way to travel, and I would recommend it to anyone. I finally have a couch of my own to host people, and I'm looking forward to being on the other side of the interesting exchanges that this website facilitates.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the opportunity to stay with a few people while traveling Europe, and a few more people in New England, and I have had great experiences. I hope to do some more couchsurfing in the United States to learn the country better, as well as in Central and South America.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a horrible critic, so I end up liking most movies and music. My interests change often but some of my favorites are:

Doctor Who, Donnie Darko, Firefly/Serenity, Amelie, Away We Go, What Dreams May Come

Lana Del Rey, The Beatles, Ratatat, First Aid Kit, Andrew Bird,

The Poisonwood Bible, His Dark Materials, Abhorsen Trilogy, A Clockwork Orange,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I actually think about it, there are too many to list - the world's a pretty cool place.
Graduated from college, lived in France, built a biodigester in rural Nicaragua, learned how to make biodiesel, worked with catadores in Brazil, lived in a van, and hopefully many many more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about using waste vegetable oil as a fuel. I'd like to learn how to play the mandolin, speak Portuguese and Spanish.
