CURRENT MISSION

Travel more, get out of the country again.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I will be traveling Europe studying gay culture this summer. I am looking for gay and gay-friendly hosts.

PHILOSOPHY

"The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again."

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not yet surfed, but I'm looking forward to my first CS experience. I messed around with expensive hotels/hostels and feeling alone in new, big cities while in Europe and I had some bad experiences with that. The CS program gives me new hope for happy, cheap, and efficient travel!

We recently hosted our first surfer which was really exciting and - though brief - it taught us a lot about the CS program. We are looking forward to hosting more surfers!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

◕ ‿ ◕ Sitting in a traditional pub in Dublin with a great new friend, drinking a Guinness, and being in such warm company that we began catching onto the Irish folk songs with which a whole nation of people has grown up.
