ABOUT ME

My Photo Blog!
http://megandegonia.blogspot.com/

I don't know if this qualifies as "all about me" but it is what I'm all about.

I am a student at Webster University and am 12 credit hours away from a diploma and the REAL WORLD. I'm pursuing a degree in Electronic and Photographic Media with an emphasis in Photography. I'm also the online editor of the School Paper.

I believe couch surfing is the most beautiful thing on the internet. And that's saying something.

PHILOSOPHY

How cheesy would it be if I wrote "live and let live" here?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't afford to verify myself, so not many people ask to surf with me. But I promise I'm not a creepy old man! You can sleep on my loveseat and I'll make you curry.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in Paris, Madrid, and Amsterdam, but have yet to try it within the states. Bring it on!
