CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world with a local perspective

ABOUT ME

I am easy-going and love foreign languages and traveling. I grew up/am living in a small town in Iowa where practicing transcendental meditation is commonplace. I love playing sports, playing music, making delicious food, learning, challenging myself, speaking italian, and meeting new people. I am easily entertained by simple things, and I think that the most important thing in life is to be yourself and enjoy.

PHILOSOPHY

The purpose of life is to live it to the fullest. Living life to the fullest comes from uniting seemingly opposite values and living in balance: understanding the importance of life while not taking it too seriously, experiencing silence in activity, living in the moment with an awareness of the bigger picture, that's a start. There is no end to growth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I recently joined CS, but I plan to couchsurf this summer when I am traveling in Italy and Greece. I also hope to offer a couch at some point in the near future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just joined CS, but I always enjoy meeting new people and getting their perspective of the place where they live.
