CURRENT MISSION

To experience something different.

ABOUT ME

I am 21 years old and live in Austin, TX. I've lived here forever. I have 3 full siblings (a 23 year old brother in AZ - artist, a 12 year old sister - middle schooler, and a 10 year old brother - elementary kid), I also have a sister-in-law and nephew in Denver.
I've had several jobs over the past few years. Most kind of regular/mundane. I did work in a jewelry store for about a year and a half and was able to learn how to bead, fix, and make different kinds of jewelry pieces. It was pretty interesting and always nice to pick up a skill. Now, I work as a receptionist at a water-cooler manufacturing company. They're all really nice there, but it can get a bit lonely.

PHILOSOPHY

I am still trying to figure this one out.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hoping to participate through using the couches in Europe to cut some costs and meet people from different cultures as they actually live. (Instead of just being a regular tourist and seeing other tourists at the usual historical hot spots.)
