CURRENT MISSION

To walk streets I've never walked.

ABOUT ME

Me, huh? I dig life. I am absolutely crazy about traveling. I recently got back from Europe, and can say I probably learned more about myself on that 2 and a half month trip than over the past 23 years. You learn a lot while traveling with good company and staying with complete strangers. I love music, and film. I'd like to say I was creative, but I don't really think I am. I'm ready for another adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Livin' and lovin' life as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am constantly telling people about the incredible time I've had while Couchsurfing. I would love to host, but the house isn't quite equipped for any more people than it already has. But I'm working on convincing the roomies that that space isn't an issue. The more the merrier, right?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Backpacked and couchsurfed my way through Europe this summer, and I'm never traveling any other way. Met the most amazing people so far, and can't wait to keep it going!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the opportunity to travel over to Chiang Mai, Thailand to volunteer at an amazing orphanage for kids with HIV/AIDS. Upon arriving, I was expecting these kids to be maybe a little less active or happy than the average kid, but I couldn't be more wrong. They were amazing. Smiles never left their faces; they were constantly putting my life in check with the way they lived out their lives. Not only did I get to hang out with these rad kids, but with tigers, elephants, snakes and monkeys too. Needless to say, Thailand is pretty awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn anything and everything there is to learn about anything and everything. And in return, hopefully I can teach you a thing or two.
