CURRENT MISSION

travelling the world and enjoying all that foreign cultures have to offer

ABOUT ME

I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2009. I worked in fundraising for 2 years and realized I wasn't getting the international experience I crave, so I quit my job in the U.S. in September 2011 and began an around the world adventure. I traveled to New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup, did the Kiwi Experience and met some amazing internationals. I then went to Fiji, New Caledonia, and Australia. Arriving in Sydney for New Year's Eve, I have been staying and working in Sydney and will continue onward to SE Asia and India before arriving home for Christmas 2012.

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day as if its your last...or at least, I try to :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I stayed with a lovely couple in New Caledonia and now that I'm in Sydney, I participate in the Sydney couchsurfing group.

A special thank you to those I have stayed with:
Adrien and Mari Vedrune, New Caledonia

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
