CURRENT MISSION

Meet the people, do the things, be open to everything.

ABOUT ME

I don't think you will ever catch me without a smile on my face - I am very easy to get along with, and love to see the good in everything. It doesn't seem worth it to spend time being unhappy when there is always so much more to do and see in the world, and I really want to make the best of my time everywhere. I love meeting new people and just spending time with close friends and family; I will probably insist that we play a board game or a round of cards if we have the time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Though I am currently abroad, I would love to host once I am back in New York. Now I'm looking around Eastern Europe for some nice people to host me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had amazing hosts throughout Europe. I would love to host in New York.

Interests

I almost always have a camera in my hand, in my pocket, it doesn't matter, I love photography. I also love traveling and discovering new places and meeting new people, hiking, biking, reading, listening to music, - I'm sure there is much more to go here.
