ABOUT ME

My three great loves in life are Art, Politics, and Cats. I spend most my time studying and adventuring - I'm always up to learn something new or find somewhere new - whether its at home or abroad. I try to keep my life simple and drama free.

PHILOSOPHY

Be here now, be nice, have fun... but don't forget to get your work done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm abroad and have no couch to call my own so I'm mostly looking for places to stay during my travels, but when I get back to the US I plan to convince my roommate that it would be fun to host some surfers.
