CURRENT MISSION

Do good, be good, live well

ABOUT ME

I'm a 23 year old from the US. Just moved to Melbourne on a sort-of-whim on a Work and Holiday visa. Currently working as a front-end software engineer at Rome2rio. I like to get out and travel/explore whenever I can find the time.

As of late I'm going to a lot of Spanish language exchange meetups to try and improve my conversational skills --- when in Melbourne... right?

Things I love:

- exploring
- learning
- partying until the wee hours of the morning
- the Royal Botanic Gardens
- interactive theatre
- Thanksgiving (definitely a great American holiday ... such good food!)
- the mountains in New Hampshire
- travelling (duh)
- meeting friendly people
- hanging out with friends

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a really exciting way to travel. You get to get a taste of what the "locals " live like instead of just taking everything in as a tourist.

Also, once I can host surfers of my own I'd love to tell or show them about all my favorite spots in a city.
