About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to climb a tree in every country

ABOUT ME

I grew up in DC suburbia, lived in NYC for about 6 years, moved back to DC, and ended a 2 month long cross country wandering road trip by starting my life over again in San Francisco. It's been an interesting ride.

PHILOSOPHY

Recently, I had three 45+ yr olds tell me that they wish they'd taken the time to travel and experience things when they were younger instead of going straight for a career/house/family. My goal in life is to put off "real life" as long as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few people when I was living in NY and I've been hosted by people on both sides of the Atlantic. I've never had a negative experience, everyone has been great!

Interests

camping, taking pictures, linguistics, body modification, loud music, being outside, abandoned stuff, sideshows, wandering around new places until I get lost, animals, anything that will scare me

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can I just say July - September 2009? Because that was the most incredible time of my life. Ask for details :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to read music, how to make a chain out of bubble gum wrappers, how to run a lightboard.

Teach me anything, I want to learn! I'm really interested in learning languages and how to play different instruments.
