About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be unafraid. "Throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy trying new things with people who are down for anything.

I have a serious case of wanderlust and an insatiable curiosity. I love trying new foods, exploring, walking around aimlessly, and meeting new people. I also enjoy dancing, hiking, reading, and watching movies.

I'm incurably optimistic
and impulsive. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Pack a pillow and go!

I'd like to look back on my life and have no regrets. I work hard, play hard, and laugh hard.

And life is too short to hold grudges. Forgiveness is a beautiful thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just getting started! I'd love to be a host but I don't really have a "home" right now. I am an international field engineer which means that I won't have a permanent home for about 3 years. However, I'd love to participate in this community by being a respectful and silly hostee.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm pretty new to CS but all my experiences have been wonderful. It's a great way to make real connections especially when you are in an unfamiliar place.

but failures lose their bite

and successes become that much sweeter.
