CURRENT MISSION

Catch up on some lost travel time before the "real life" kicks in!

ABOUT ME

HI! I have spent a lot of time in grade school focused on nothing but the next step of education and doing my best, but now it's time for me to do all the vacationing and traveling that I never did!

Backpacking through Europe for the next couple of months. Main prerogatives: Museums, Nature, Architecture, Culture!

I want to see as many museums and as much beautiful nature as I can. I've never been anywhere in Europe, so I've got to do some touristy things.. (Eiffel Tower, coming for you! Despite the cliché.) But, I'm extremely interested in meeting people along the way and grabbing a drink at a local bar.

I'll eat anything once and drink anything twice.

PHILOSOPHY

See more, do more, eat more, drink just enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to the whole couchsurfing culture, but am excited to meet people that live in each country! I want to see it all from your eyes. I've lived in New York for 4 years, I understand the tourist traps are shit. So, I want to get them out of the way and see the awesome things!

Interests

Art, music, architecture, design, nature, Swimming, outdoors, local bars (not really into clubs...), reading, theatre, movies, more reading (I honestly can't remember a time where I haven't been in the middle of a book.) Harry Potter (a little bit of an obsession)
