CURRENT MISSION

To meet people from all over the world and make best friends in all different countries and to share my experiences with those from other cultures and communities. I love trying different things, I am extremely outgoing and I am unafraid of the new.

ABOUT ME

I am 19 years old and I like to have fun whether it be watching movies or going to clubs. I'm a college student at Tulane University. I consider myself a very intelligent individual with a bunch if different perks. I love traveling and being completely carefree, if there were a way to make money doing that I would. I am great at learning languages and I've been an exchange student and have already seen much of the world thus far. I love playing and teaching myself to play various musical instruments. I am a professional Scottish Great Highland bagpipe player, a professional ukulele player, and I love playing piano trumpet and many other instruments. I love meeting new people and making new friends and my dream is to meet a person that would throw a dart at a map and go literally anywhere with me and do anything.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to see what's out there. As someone so young I have a unique outlook on life that gives me a different perspective. My goal in life is to see everything that's out there in this world we live in. I want to learn to love in different languages and to just be completely passionate about one thing. I don't want to live the rest of my life cooped up in one place, I want to get out there and see everything there is to see, to take risks. I think everyone should live like this. I go to school so I can get out and support my wacky and wild antics, not to settle down and set up a career. There's too much out there to sit still.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by constantly hosting exchange students at my house, and staying at houses in other countries.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As an exchange student I welcomed dozens of individuals from various countries into my home and have stayed in many different countries with some of these people. I have never formally done this and believe that Couchsurfing is just a new, different, and easier way of meeting and connecting with people.

音乐、电影和书籍

My favorite movies include District 9, any Studio Ghibli movie, and the documentary Inequality for All. I will watch anything and give it a chance though. I listen to Beatriz Luengo, Blink-182, Sigur Ros, Of Monsters and Men, and a bunch of other random types of music including techno and punk rock, literally anything. I love reading books like Mountains Beyond Mountains, the Israeli-Palestine conflict, Teddy Roosevelt the Wilderness Warrior, and many other inspirational books. I love reading travel guides and language books as well.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The most amazing thing I've done in my life was the summer of 2012 when I was in Madrid as an exchange student. We were in the center square, there were 10,000 people around us and I couldn't understand a word of what people were saying around me at that point. When Spain eventually won that game there was a moment of silence and the people started running around and I was caught up in the moment of it all and I ran with them. I jumped into a fountain and people were spraying champagne and hugging eachother and I just smiled. For that moment I was the happiest I've been in my entire life.

教，学，和分享

This means to me what my entire philosophy is based upon. I travel to assimilate myself and to share my own experiences with others, learn about their experiences, and being able to tell others about these experiences after I've been through them. I love doing what will create the best story, living in the now. Giving that to someone else is something extremely special to me and I love teaching others that the term YOLO isn't just something stupid that the kids are saying but that it's something to follow, a way to live. I like learning from others as well because everything I am to this point is the combination of experiences I have learned from others. I think that Couchsurfing would be perfect for me to learn the way others think, to teach the ways I think, and to share with others. That's something special.
