CURRENT MISSION

Learn more about the world and myself with hopes of gaining the experience and knowledge to open others' minds up to it all as well.

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent college grad, studied photojournalism, but not in the market to settle down with a real job or in a single place just yet. Rather, I'd like to spend some time seeing more of the world, meeting more of its people, and learning a little more about myself and what I'm made of. I'm a music, animal, culture, and friendly people lover.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
Lao Tzu

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the beginning of April I'll be leaving for Europe, starting in London, where I will backpack around learning more about the land, culture, and myself. I don't have much in the way of set plans, but rather will go where the wind takes me and I'd love to break in my couchsurfing presence along the way. I've yet to host as I'm in something of a transitionary phase right now, but hope to in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing, but love the idea and am looking forward to where it may take me and to how it will connect me with other human beings all around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During a brief stay in China, I spent a day hiking through the Longji Rice Terraces...coming across several villages, picking up new local friends along the way, seeing workers in the distance ankle-deep in water planting seeds, passing gravestones of people who spent their entire lives in those mountains and will spend the rest of eternity there as well. We were above the clouds.
