CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life! (duh) Aside from that I am exploring Europe to hopefully find work to finance my future travels this Summer!!

ABOUT ME

I am a 24 year old recent graduate from a university in California. I arrived in Europe during August 2011 to begin backpacking. I spent the following four months traveling throughout Europe (mainly western so far). I had an unlimited rail-pass and would decide on my next destinations on the go. To be able to live spontaneously and meet people from all over the world has had a profound affect on me. In addition to that, I come from a land where our oldest buildings and and "western culture" only date back a couple hundred years; seeing and standing in buildings and monuments dating back to the beginnings of written civilization has been an awesome and inspiring experience. Before I start writing a book here, I'll just sum it up: I love to meet new people and have new cultures, ideas, and philosophies interact with my own. I love to learn, be it from books or other people - and I don't know why I didn't join CS sooner!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is here for us to live... and to not live it would be a shame. However, "to each his own" - I believe people should do what they want, and as long as it doesn't hinder anyone else, so be it. We all share this earth and we all have our own hopes and dreams!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I am currently traveling abroad in Europe I can't host... but I can surf!! And as soon as my feet touch down in California, my couch will be open to you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most recent and amazing thing I have done is packing a backpack, saying goodbye to my friends and family, and starting a new adventure on the other side of the world by myself.
Also I have done alot of crazy (and sometimes stupid) things in my life, but summing them up here poses some difficulty!

Social commentary and hilarity are also things I like to share.
