CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking across Western Europe

ABOUT ME

I have spent the past semester studying and working in London. Now my best friend and I are getting ready to take a spontaneous backpacking tour of Europe because we just can't bring ourselves to leave yet. We've seen Spain, Athens, Amsterdam, and been all over the UK and we are not ready to stop!

PHILOSOPHY

There are a lot of unpleasant things in this world, I try not to be one of them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to give anyone I meet advice about visiting the states or any of the other places I've visited in my semester abroad. When settled back in the states myself I'd love to open up my couch for surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Two days with Martin Binder in Frankfurt. He's a really great host. Comfortable place to stay, interesting conversationalist, very laid back.

Interests

I love wandering around and losing myself in new cities. I also enjoy learning new dances, listening to music, listening to people I know singing, playing cards and board games, and reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crossed the Atlantic in the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship, on its last journey before being retired.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to knit. I would love to learn a new dance. I hope to share a laugh with you.
