CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as humanly possible. Life is too short to stay at home forever.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and try new things. During my undergraduate college experience I was fortunate to study abroad in York, England and travel outwards to cities like London, Paris, Glasgow, Pisa, Florence, Rome, Bremen, Vienna, Brussels, and Dublin. I was fortunate enough to have Couch Surfing hosts in Vienna and Brussels â

PHILOSOPHY

Always fulfill your obligations, be on time, and try to make true connections with those around you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have "surfed" in Austria and Belgium. I have also done my best to spread the word to others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had the most amazing couch surfing experiences!!
Vienna, Austria: My first was in Vienna with Evelyn. If you get the opportunity, Couchsurf in Vienna. They have an amazing couchsurfing community and do their best to help you feel at home and show you their city.
Brussels, Belgium: Brussels was like the hidden gem of Europe. I loved spending time in the city and exploring all that it had to offer. My host, Barbara was amazing and opened up her home and her heart. We spent time just talking and she was fantastic and made my stay memorable and made Belgium a place that I can't wait to return to!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was the first person to see the sunrise in the continental United states when I worked in Maine summer 2005 from the top of Cadillac Mountain.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: How to make due with only a toaster oven.
Learn: I want to learn about others' cultures and experience different cities. I wander by nature, and I love knowing the little secrets that truly unlock a city.
Share: I love showing people around the cities where I have lived - Cleveland, Los Angeles, and New York (but I'm still a relative newbie to NYC).
