ABOUT ME
Hey guys! I'm a 22-year-old trying to figure out life. This Summer (2014 June-August), I'm trying to travel around Europe and Asia. I want to meet new people & experience more things. Really hope to do that through Couchsurfing! After the Summer, once I get my own place (most likely in California, USA), I'd love to help others do this by hosting.
PHILOSOPHY
I want to experience wonderful, exciting things. I want to meet new people, and I want to leave them slightly better than I found them. I want my existence to have a positive impact on people's lives, and I want theirs to do the same for me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Surfing (while traveling around Europe June-July 2014), hosting after September 2014.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Haven't used Couchsurfing before! But I've heard so many great things about it. I trust in the kindness of people, and hope that this will lead me to meeting amazing people & experiencing amazing things :)
