CURRENT MISSION

To get to know the world, one couch at a time.

ABOUT ME

Hello all! Im pretty new to CS and loveee traveling/meeting new people. But most of all, I believe that visiting a country is so much more interesting and enjoyable when you get a true feel for the local way of living, so thats what draws me to CSing.

Im a recent college grad just taking a bit of time off in between studies and jobs and whatever it may be that is considered the real world, in order to do what I do best. Wander uncharted territory (or what is uncharted relative to my own experience).

Okay but seriously, theres nothing better in my opinion than genuine people just being nice and helping each other out. So thats basically how i try to live my life. And in the wise words of my older sister Laura Schwartz, listen to your heart...

PHILOSOPHY

"On ne voit qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
(One sees well only with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes)

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I biked about 4000 miles across the United States with an organization called Bike and Build to raise money and awareness for affordable housing. The most amazing thing about the trip was how much support and strength we got from people in towns along the way.
