About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and learn as much as I can

ABOUT ME

I am doing my best to make the most of my life in every way I know how. Right now, this means making the most of being young-- studying, learning, traveling, and searching for those conversations that test you to reconsider how you view the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"You never really understand a person until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Out of my time on the road, among the best are the times I spent in the homes or local hangouts of people I met through CS. I love getting a local perspective, swapping travel stories, and finding the best places to eat, drink, dance and listen to music. Now that I'm home, I'm excited to return the favor and open up my apartment to travelers as so many did to me.

However, being in the Bay Area, I tend to get a lot of random couch requests, so I'd appreciate if you could demonstrate you've read at least part of my profile when you send me a request, it will make it easier to say yes!
