About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Can only become more interesting by meeting more interesting people.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent college grad who is now living abroad and travelling so as to avoid entering the corporate world for a little while. I enjoy learning as much as I can from new friends of foreign cultures/languages, and sharing as much of my own as possible with them. I love sports (soccer, college [american] football, hockey, tennis, basketball, etc.), music (classic rock expert), movies, tv, surfing YouTube for hours, museums, cooking for lots of people, very old beautiful churches, and of course, the reason why you are reading this, travelling. Of the USA, I miss the climate (N. GA), my family, the fresh air in GA, Taco Bell, Oliver the Cat, Jeopardy, ice, and going out in Athens with some of the most fun people in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd love to see what's at the end, but want to have one hell of an experience getting there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the experiences I have had thus far with the CS crew(s) all around Lower Normandy, especially the Cherbourg group! I thoroughly enjoy soaking up their culture and group dynamic while contributing a little bit of myself and where I come from to the mix. That is why I am anxious to see more of the world and be in the company of surfers from all over.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

-Excursions to Rennes, Nantes, Mont St. Michel (and Rouen soon I hope)
-Local parties and events in Cherbourg
-Meeting CSers from 15+ countries at the same time
-A network of lifelong friends and connections
