CURRENT MISSION

to be happy and ride an elephant

ABOUT ME

The summer of 2010, I did a solo 7-week backpacking trip around Europe and the only way to express it is through laughs and smiles.

Back in the States, you'll most likely find me sleeping outside under a tree if the weather permits.

PHILOSOPHY

Always hold the door for the person behind you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Berlin I stayed with Erik and spent a majority of my time laughing and riding on the back of his bicycle for one of his "impromptu" tours of the city. We also shared a similar trait of dancing up steps. Hands down, the best couchsurfing experience and I've had some pretty amazing ones- not to knock the others :)
