About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much as I can, do as much as I can, and be as much as I can!

ABOUT ME

I am always looking to meet new people and have new experiences. I will try to cook you dinner and then do the dishes. Dancing, eating, laughing and talking are my main activities and if you will do at least two out of the four well with me, we may just become best friends. I want to have a great time and learn about the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am only surfing because I am studying abroad and living at a homestay. But I am open to meeting new people to chat over drinks (I wouldn't be the best tour guide of Morocco, but I could try!) When I return home to Boston, MA in the USA at the end of the semester I am excited to begin hosting as well.

Interests

I enjoy reading, writing and being in the natural world. Mostly, I like to meet new people and experience new things to learn about the world around me. Anything silly or odd or slightly dangerous will grab my attention. I love sarcasm and discovering the things that are exactly the same anywhere you go, because that's just the way it is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My stay in Israel for two months traveling around, was incredible, as is my time in Morocco so far. Seeing history unfold, waves crashing on a beach, or a baby's first steps are also always awe-inspiring.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could not say I am an expert on anything, there is always more to learn and I have by no means explored even a fraction of what is out there. But I suppose something I am consistently good at is being optimistic, being able to take things in stride and always remembering the bigger picture. I think this is important to a healthier, happier life and if I could help impart this mindset onto others it would bring me (and hopefully them!) a lot of joy.
