CURRENT MISSION

Slow down, absorb, enjoy, learn, reflect, live.

ABOUT ME

Recent college grad, born and raised in Boston, and happy to show my beautiful city to any curious travelers.

My apologies for having such a low CS request response rate :/ I took nearly a year-long hiatus from CS but just starting to get back in the swing of things this May.

PHILOSOPHY

Slow down, absorb, enjoy, learn, reflect, live.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to create meaningful, unique experiences with interesting people from all over the planet who can show me new perspectives about this wonderful and complicated thing we call life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few times in southeast Brazil and California. I met some amazing people along the way and got to see a very genuine picture of this fascinating country. All made possible by this website!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

"To be understood, first seek to understand."

"The Dalai Lama was asked what surprised him the most;
he said, "Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived."
