CURRENT MISSION

I hope to see the world. While that involves traveling everywhere I possibly can, it also means meeting as many people as I can possibly meet.

ABOUT ME

I am a 23-year old from Indiana who loves life, learning, and seeing the world.

Oh, and wine. I also love wine.

PHILOSOPHY

“It wasn’t the New World that mattered … Columbus died almost without seeing it; and not really knowing what he had discovered. It’s life that matters, nothing but life — the process of discovering, the everlasting and perpetual process, not the discovery itself, at all.”

I love this quote from Dostoevsky, and I think it sums up the fact that life is way more about the journey than the destination. I don't know why I'm here, and until you can give me a reason, I plan to enjoy the ride.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not yet CouchSurfed, but everyone I know who has has been very satisfied!

I love all movies, especially ones that make me think and/or laugh. (The best ones do both.)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One time, I took a 1500 mile bike trip through the Canadian Rockies. It was the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever done.

I can teach you improv comedy basics--it's fun, and even more fun with a language barrier. ;)
