About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just graduated college and now I'm spending the summer backpacking through Europe in a quest to immerse myself in new cultures, meet new people, and learn new things

ABOUT ME

Just graduated from college and I've been traveling around Europe with my friend Olga. Now I'm traveling alone looking for new ways to learn. Love trying new things, dancing, spontaneous travel, people, puppies, and so so much more.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is meant for enjoyment, and the most enjoyment one can get is by looking out for others and helping people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couch surfed before in Barcelona and Edinburgh, both have been very fun positive experiences and I'm looking forward to meeting new people. Couch surfing has really helped me learn more about places in a city that you could not get from a tour book, and meet people that show you a great time and leave lasting memories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 2 months in Japan learning Japanese language and culture while staying with a Japanese host family. It was the first time I really stood out in a place everywhere I went, however despite all the distinct cultural and behavioral differences I was able to make good friends and create lasting relationships. This experience has fueled my thirst for travel and has inspired me to seek out more experiences like that.
