About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience and learn as many cultures as possible.

I like to describe myself as a fun-loving, creative, free-spirited person. I enjoy exploring new places and experiencing everything life has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Be spontaneous. Follow your heart. Trust your instincts. See the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed in September 2009 for the first time with 2 different hosts. I had great experiences, and I am looking to hopefully open my home to fellow couchsurfers in the coming months after I have settled into my new apartment in Syracuse, NY.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed with my boyfriend Dave in September 2009 in Zurich and Berlin, and was very pleased with both of my experiences. I am looking forward to couchsurfing more in the future, and hopefully hosting as well!
