CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and learn a little something along the way. . .

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing, adventurous, up for (almost) anything. I love to travel and see other cultures, and try to learn from these new cultures. I like the outdoors and nature, hiking, biking, skiing, swimming, riding, etc. I like to write; I'm a journalism major.

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything twice. It might not be done right the first time. Then make your decisions and form your opinions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been getting more into the Atlanta CS scene. Couchsurfers here are awesome!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My Couch Surfing experiences have been pretty rad. However, I didn't know that some people use Couch Surfing as a dating site. But for the most part, CS has been awesome. I've met some terrific folks and CS definitely changed my life because I never would have heard about the Student Conservation Association, so I'd never have spent my summer in a National Park, or in New Mexico. So Couchsurfing is awesome.

Sunset in Moab, flying the trapeze on my dad's catamaran, sailing and snorkling in the British Virgin Islands, Parc Guell in Barcelona. Riding horses on the beach in Mexico, Ice caves in Lava tubes in New Mexico, Learning to ski on the crystal-blue water of Lake Powell, surrounded by huge red cliffs. Meteor showers, sunsets, and the milky way in New Mexico.

Teach, Learn, Share

Couchsurfing. Always make sure you have a backup plan. It's a great concept, but don't put all your eggs in some guy's basket. Especially when you don't know them. Make sure you have enough to get a hostel, a motel, or campsite, because sometimes things don't work out. Just because someone gets great ratings and is verified does not mean they're a great person. And if things get weird, get out of there.
