About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To boldly go where I have never gone before!

ABOUT ME

I am a college student currently living in Prague for a semester, and I loving every minute of it! I wasn't sure about studying abroad, but I am so happy that I decided to come. I love traveling, meeting new people, trying new things- so this has been a perfect semester!

PHILOSOPHY

People make life worth living- everything is better if you are sharing it with someone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just getting started in the CS project- so far my only participation has been creating a profile and vouching for a couple friends that are using CS- hopefully that is about to change though :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my couch surfing has been staying with friends at their houses, so a very unofficial sort of couch surfing. The best one was visiting a friend in Brooklyn, NYC, last winter for a basketball game. Not only was it great to see where he lived, but he took great care of me! Showing me the best fish and chips place, the best bagel place, and other things that only a local would know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was 12 when my triplet siblings were born- it was amazing then, and is still amazing watching them grow up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share playing the piano and turning cartwheels. I want to learn how to cook!
