I was born and raised in Buffalo, New York and grew up loving the Sabres and Bills (I still do). I currently attend University at Buffalo and am pursuing environmental engineering with a minor in ancient history. I'm a lifeguard at local pools to earn money for my trips around the world. My goal is to visit as many places as I can and meet as many people as I can, before I get too old. My philosophy is that I only have one life, so I should live it, and live it following my passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet new people and gain new friends in strange places! I hope to be worldly one day, and this is one of my ways to do just that!

Interests

I love the outdoors! I love going on walks, visiting the beach, and spending all day in the sun. I love playing lacrosse, even if it's a simple game of catch. My favorite sport to watch is hockey, but come football season, you can bet that I'm watching the Bills play. If I could I would spend all day in the library reading all the books I could. I also love singing, it's something that you can usually find me doing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most kinds of music, really everything but country and rap. My all time favorite band is Led Zeppelin, probably because I grew up listening to classic rock as a kid. I also love Muse, Blink-182, and Green Day and if I could I would definitely go see them live. If I'm working on homework, I'll listen to movie soundtracks a lot, composers like John Williams really make movies magical.

Speaking of movies, I don't really have a number one favorite. I have seen a lot though. As a kid, I grew up watching Star Wars, Indiana Jones, all the Bond movies, and Back to the Future. I do love Ferris Bueller, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Clue, and Chicago.

My favorite series is Harry Potter, hands down, J.K. Rowling is such a talented author. I also do enjoy Shakespeare, my favorite play being, Midsummer Night's Dream.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent the weekend in the French Alps doing some crazy things on my study abroad. I white water rafted on the currents in the area, canyoned in the weekends, and paraglided over the small ski town there. It was gorgeous and fulfilled my need for an adrenaline rush!
