CURRENT MISSION

To visit each continent at least once, and we'll see where that leads.

ABOUT ME

Laid back and curious about pretty much everything, which explains why I love traveling, trying new foods, meeting new people, and experiencing different lifestyles in other cultures. I am open-minded and adventurous, genuine, hardworking and honest.

PHILOSOPHY

You can't change the wind, but you can adjust your sails.

Favorite quote:
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hopefully I will be able to host in the future, but for now I am traveling and looking forward to meeting new people along the way!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Now that I've couchsurfed in Europe & in the US, I can honestly say it's a brilliant network. Meeting people through Couchsurfing has restored my faith in humanity. Obviously it's important to be safe and trust your instincts, but I've met some truly amazing, trusting, and kind people through Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paraglided through the Austrian Alps, hiked to the top of a freezing summit and spent the night there in just a sleeping bag, skied in the Alps, saw the Grand Canyon, biked (almost) all the way from Passau to Linz along the Donauradweg...
(sorry I couldn't pick just one, and hopefully this list is To Be Continued!)

Teach, Learn, Share

In general, I enjoy cultural discussions with people from different backgrounds. This could range from simple family traditions or differences in food/diet to extreme differences. Whatever it may be, your background is interesting to me because it's likely different from mine, and hopefully some of my stories will be new and interesting to you!
