CURRENT MISSION

To gradually realize that the world is not as big as it seems :)

ABOUT ME

Hmmmm... Well, I'm origionally from a tiiinny little town in Pennsylvania, but I live in New York. I was living in Lyon from January to June which is where I became involved in the CouchSurfing community. I have always craved new experiences, and I happen to be both terrified and strangely addicted to change and the unknown. I love meeting new people and immersing myself in another culture or lifestyle. I love learning things about people and about my environment and the world around me.

PHILOSOPHY

I search everyday for new things and experiences to begin to shape the person I hope to become...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am pretty brand spankin' new to this network. I had always heard things here and there about CouchSurfing when I never really had the time or the circumstance to travel (without my parents), and I thought it seemed like a great way for people to both see the world and make personal, meaningful connections with others all around as well. Alas, when I hit up France and my main objective was to travel travel travel, I got to finally see what it's all about. And, well, let's just say I wasn't disappointed ;). Looking forward to many more great experiences to come :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Portugal and worked at a surf camp for two months on a last minute terrifying whim. Best experience of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will be the first to admit that I have very little experience, and very many things to learn, which is why I try to be open to all sorts of ides and philosophies, people and experiences. One thing I do know from experience, when someone lends their advice (free of charge),... listen. Also, always do something that scares you a little but every day.
