About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and learn from people all over

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing, ambitious, and dedicated. I am looking forward to meeting people from all walks of life. I'd take a strangers couch over a hotel bed any day of the week. The first time I ever went couch surfing was one of the best trips of my life, and I hope to repeat the experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life without regrets.
Everyone is inherently good, people just make mistakes or are misunderstood/mislead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm back at school now getting my MBA but I am trying to see every country in the world at some point, and couch surfing is a great way to do that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed in Ithaca, New York and had an incredible time. I also spent St Patrick's Day in Boston couchsurfing and had a blast.

Interests

Family, traveling, and thinking of how to alleviate poverty.

  • walking
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I read The Economist and books on development. I am looking to broaden my horizons a bit however.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently I would say that I am proud to be living in the Northeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There is a rebellion to my south, the LRA to my north, and Ebola to my East and West, but I'm living my dream of helping to develop a community sustainably.

Teach, Learn, Share

For me, I want to learn what life is like everywhere. I'd happily trade 5 hours at a museum, for 1 hour with a local walking around town.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Bahamas, Belgium, Chile, Costa Rica, Denmark, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Italy, Kenya, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Rwanda, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Uganda, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Democratic Republic of Congo, United States
