About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am an independent person who enjoys getting to know new people and experiencing new things. I have a need to travel and see all different places around the world. In traveling, I enjoy meeting local people and getting a more authentic feel for what a place in like.

PHILOSOPHY

"What lies before us and what lies behind us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am looking to surf, but in the future I hope to return the favor and host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a couch in Vienna for Christmas and had a great time! I hope my future couchsurfing experiences are as fantastic.

Interests

I spend my time reading, watching movies, swimming. I really enjoy teaching and learning, especially languages. I wish I could spend more time traveling. And I also love taking pictures.
