About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore Europe and get the real idea of what life and culture is like and not just a normal tourist experience

ABOUT ME

I am currently traveling around Europe for the next month. I'm a full time student at North Carolina State University where I'm majoring in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Human Biology. I love to do all sorts of things, but mostly I love learning new things and having new experiences. I like to site-see and tour things.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is that I should always do what is right for me. That means I like to do things that I think will better me as a person and trying to take care of myself. I believe that the world is a diverse place and that there is always something to learn from new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking to be an active couch surfer this summer and have someone host me. Also available to hang out with couch surfer members in my area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been actively using couchsurfing this summer to meet new people and i have been a surfer. I have now stayed with several hosts this summer. I believe that being a good houseguest involves pulling my load in the house and being grateful for what has been provided for me. I have really enjoyed the meetings I have had with fellow couchsurfers.

Interests

I have very diverse interests. I love history, particularly the Medieval Era, the Renaissance, and WWII. I also love visiting old places such as churches and castles. I am interested in Science, Philosophy, Religion, and Politics. Mostly I'm interested in learning new things and getting perspectives.
I like reading good books, going to plays, and seeing cool stuff.
