About Me

CURRENT MISSION

SWO: Shit Works Out

ABOUT ME

I'm currently still attending college and I'm majoring in International Development and Sociology. I love traveling and experiencing other cultures. I've been blessed to have traveled often during my childhood and have been able to continue to raveling as often as I can during my studies. I enjoy hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities. My favorite thing to do in a new city is to simply walk or bike it as much as I can. I enjoy good music, good, and beer (I mean honestly who doesn't) but all three are aspects of a culture I enjoy partaking in.

PHILOSOPHY

Currently I'm just trying to get through school while still getting a chance to travel and have new experiences. Eventually when my studies out done I'd like to work abroad in a job I love hopefully getting a chance to help others and improve this world. As of noe That's pretty much my ideal life right there

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Am new to couch surfing so I havn't participated yet. Currently I'm traveling in Europe so I hope to find some places to stay but I'd like to get more involved when I get back home even if its just grabbing a beer with someone.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any experience with the website couch surfer but I have had the opportunity to be invited to stay at complete strangers homes. Every opportunity I had was great and I learned something from all of them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With a buddy I hiked the Appakachian Trail on the east did of the United Staes. It took us just under 5 months and was one if the most challenging things I've done but also one if the most worthwhile learning experiences

Teach, Learn, Share

I certainly have a lot of learning to do and I'm hoping to get a chance to learn. One piece of advice that might seem overstated or obvious is flexibility. I personally don't think this can be preceded enough when talking about being in new culture with new people and experiences.
