CURRENT MISSION

Make good friends with as many people as possible!

ABOUT ME

I'm a graduate student doing research on campus and love all the great experiences I've had with the people here. All I want to do is keep moving and enjoying life! I love animals, dogs , cats, you name it! Reading is a great way to pass the time but I'd set a book down right away for some exciting adventure. A little spontaneity never killed anyone. And most importantly, I'm always willing to help out a friend, new or old.

PHILOSOPHY

I had a teacher one year who taught me a lot. And one thing that he said really moved me. He quoted a man once "What surprises is not what you see but what you notice. I saw...and it disappeared. I noticed...and it stayed." I want to experience the world, all the aspects of life, good and bad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to meet up with people and show them around a bit. I don't, as of yet, have a couch for others (it depends on my roommate at the time) but I'm always willing to chill.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great couchsurfing experience in Vienna and am looking for more experiences like that!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In one week I went down a 500m zipline above the tropical forests of eastern Costa Rica and skiing with my new sister down the slopes in northern Pa.

Teach, Learn, Share

When I was in costa rica with my tican family I realized something. A person can be happy anywhere. I don't just say this because it was a quick visit. I mean because there is always something somewhere to fall in love with.

And even if you have the worst time of your life there's always something you learned from it. Even positive if you look hard enough.
