CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out my plans for next year and enjoying another summer on the Jersey Shore!

ABOUT ME

I'm attempting to exhaust myself in the glorious pursuit of life. I'm from northern New Jersey, just outside of New York City, and just graduated from the University of Vermont in Burlington where I studied Anthropology and Global Studies. In the summers I beach lifeguard in Long Beach Island on the beautiful Jersey Shore. I studied abroad in 2013 in Argentina and China, but traveled to many other places. So at this point in my life I am from nowhere but feel strongly about many places. I am open, outgoing, and friendly. I enjoy laughter, long conversations, adventures, learning about other cultures and languages, politics, excellent cocktails, wine, and beer, and most importantly the beach.

PHILOSOPHY

Our lives are an eclectic assortment of Jack Kerouac quotes. Do what you like and like what you do. I am not in this world to live up to your standards and you are not here to live up to mine, and if we meet somewhere in the middle, it's beautiful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
