CURRENT MISSION

Finding and starting a career!

ABOUT ME

I am a 23-year-old student from the Mid-Atlantic in my fifth year at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. My career goal is to be a civil engineer, hopefully in green building, and my most important and favorite activity at Cornell is being a student guide for Cornell Outdoor Education. I love spending time outdoors and helping give others a meaningful experience. I also love to travel. I have been to 41 of the 50 US states as well as 2 provinces in Canada, 5 countries in Europe, and a lot of Israel

PHILOSOPHY

I hope that I can give back enough while I'm here to even the gifts that I get. I also want to see as many places and meet as many friendly people as possible and keep learning, because learning never stops.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I signed up while traveling Europe, and my experiences there were amazing. I'm not really in a position to host right now, but I'm open to meeting people and hope that I can again soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with two hosts in Belgium who were both amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn the best tips for a good couchsurfing experience, though hopefully this will come with traveling. If I have to give one piece of advice, it's always keep an open mind and take time to notice the little things. One moment can make a trip or important event memorable.
