ABOUT ME

25 years old. Graduated college in 2008 and trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing. Lived in Chapel Hill, NC for five years, then moved to Santa Barbara, CA in August 2009 with my good friend. No real plan. No real place to stay. We just thought it'd be fun.
Spent fall of '10 backpacking through Europe and couch surfing all along the way.
I'm back in Chapel Hill, NC for a few months, and am excited to be able to host again!

PHILOSOPHY

Because a laugh is the easiest, wisest answer to all that is queer... and though I know not what may come - be what it will, I'll go to it laughing. -HM

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch surfed across the US en route to California... in Birmingham, New Orleans, and Albuquerque. I hosted some great people when I was living in Santa Barbara.
In Europe I couch surfed in Copenhagen, Denmark, Malmo, Sweden, Paris France, Berlin and Munich, Germany and Porto, Portugal.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far every single couch surfing experience I've had, whether surfing or hosting, has been absolutely amazing. I have met some of the coolest people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed pyramids in Mexico, napped under windmills in Sweden, hitchhiked in Brazil. I want to do and see everything.
