CURRENT MISSION

Just livin this life the best way I know how

ABOUT ME

My current home is New York City where I am attending grad school for Public Health. Before coming back state side I lived in Madrid for a year teaching English and 2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala. Im an Anthropologist at heart so I think other peoples cultures and traditions are pretty groovy - probably what got me into traveling in the first place, that and all the freakin beautiful places to see.......

PHILOSOPHY

Celebrate the simple joys of life. Enjoy the journey and your fellow travelers. Live with intention. Open your mind and your heart to new experiences and the universe will unfold as it should.

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."

"Onward"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host right now but I'm happy to meet up in New York.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I moved to Madrid I couchsurfed with a couple there while I looked for an apartment . They are wonderful people and were so helpful when it came to settling into life there. I ended up living close by and still keep in touch. I've only ever had good couchsurfing experiences.
