About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wandering in Ireland to find writing hideaways before starting divinity school in the fall...

ABOUT ME

Laid back, friendly, considerate, humorous, introspective, creative

PHILOSOPHY

"Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I CouchSurfed a few times during my time studying abroad in Chile in 2008 and while living in Peru in 2010-11. I'm currently traveling through Ireland for a few months before starting graduate school. I´m so glad to have something like CS to give me a totally different way of experiencing the world and engaging with people.
