CURRENT MISSION

See the World

ABOUT ME

I'm 28 years old and trying to get as much out of life as possible. I love to travel to new places and meet all sorts of interesting people. I'm up for any adventure that comes my way, but I usually go out of my way to find my own adventures. I'm currently taking a year to travel the world (New Zealand, South America and Europe). If you'd like to know anything else, just ask!

PHILOSOPHY

"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."
-Saint Augustine

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed with people in Japan, Guam, Canada, Germany, and Portugal and have met some great people from all over. Always a wonderful experience!

Interests

I'm enjoying life one day at a time, but my real passion in life is traveling.
