ABOUT ME

I've always loved traveling, but limited myself to the less economically developed nations (since I'm but a poor student). Somehow, I ended up studying in London, so very excited to step foot on continental europe for the first time!

I love meeting new people, and my friends tease that all i do is talk about life :) but im interested in knowing your story, your thought process, and trying to piece out the universality of humanity. I'm pretty laid back and and always down for a spontaneous adventure (as long as we don't end up in TOO much trouble!). My friends tell me I'm very "accepting." I still haven't figured out what that means. I'm not sure I'm accepting--I just think other people are unaccepting (its all relative!).

PHILOSOPHY

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return. --Maya Angelou

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

sorry! currently not hosting, since i'm traveling throughout europe for the year!

in the past, ive couchsurfed before in guatemala, hosted in LA. because I'm a student, I'm sometimes busy during the week and may not be able to show you around, but you can at least stay at my place! I can give you the quick and dirty 'south central LA' tour and then show you downtown.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time couchsurfing was through Guatemala. Through 2 Brits (Dave and Hickey) we ended meeting a whole group of couchsurfers and the rest is history :)
