CURRENT MISSION

An equal exchange between myself and the world around me.

ABOUT ME

I am currently studying art and business at a small liberal arts school called Skidmore College. I am originally from suburban MA but I spend a lot of time in Boston and New York City when I am not at school in central NY. I hope to someday be in a graphic design-related field though I am not quite sure where I am headed at this point. I would either spend all day at an art museum or spend all night dancing. I just really love music, going to concerts and finding new music takes up a lot of my time and wallet. As for personality, I'm pretty energetic/social and like to try new things, hence my attraction towards traveling. I spent a lot of my childhood going on family vacations, doing tours/hiking/sitting in the back of a car/getting lost so the value of traveling is ingrained in me.

PHILOSOPHY

‘There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am spending a spring semester abroad in Paris and plan to travel to cities throughout Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have had two amazing experiences, one in Brussels and one in Vienna. Both of them where amazing and unbelievably hospitable. They made my experience in both cities and I really felt like I learned more about culture from them than from any museum.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to say, so either I have seen too much or too little. One of my earlier memories is hiking in Bryce and Zion canyon when I was about 7. I just remember that the sky was unsettlingly blue, Bryce was disturbingly orange, and Zion was overwhelmingly green.

Teach, Learn, Share

Though I feel like I still much to see in this world, I would love to share my experiences at home and in my travels. I am eager to learn and would love to converse and get as much as I can out of the couch surfing cultural exchange.
