CURRENT MISSION

EXPLORATION! ADVENTURE! SEE ALL THE THINGS!

ABOUT ME

I'm about to go on an adventure. A big one! A one year backpacking experience through as much of Europe as possible.

To make this dream reality I've been working multiple jobs, paying off student loans and expensive medications so that I can leave. Despite saving almost all of the income that didn't get eaten by bills, I'm broke as a joke. I'll need to be creative to stay the amount of time that I'd like. Insert couch-surfer here.

I've never been to Europe before. Heck, I've never been off the continent. I'd love if you could show me around and help me get to know your culture. I promise we'll get along!

PHILOSOPHY

"From joy all beings have come, by joy they all live, and unto joy they all return" -Upanishads

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, hardly any! I stayed with one fantastic host in Edinburgh but I'm so excited to do more!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm Adobe Certified in both Photoshop and InDesign. Previously, I worked as an Adobe programs expert for my University so I'm very comfortable (and happy!) teaching people the program. I'll be bringing my computer with me with the program already installed.

I'm also able to advise and share my knowledge of Marketing, Advertising, and Brand Management strategy. I held positions with a number of start-up companies where I led development in those areas.
