ABOUT ME

About me? Meet me and you'll know!
I like, all of you, have a passion for traveling, for the places it takes me and the people I meet there.

I grew up in Michigan, and began traveling around the U.S. at a young age, I went to a study abroad program in Prague, CZ in 2005 and fell head over heels in love with that city. After that I found myself in Krakow for one year, studying again. I am now in Stockholm, studying yet another time! What I love about studying in different countries is that it allows me to travel and to learn about new cultures.

I love

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy and you will be happy along the way. People make the difference here.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just starting out here, I'm not sure yet, for starters, I am going to be doing some traveling, and then I'll be semi-nomadic without my own place to stay, so sadly I can't yet be a host, but I will be when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None! I'm completely new at this. However I've stayed on many couches (and floors) of friends over the years, so that's nothing new to me, I certainly don't require a Hilton, not even a motel.

Intereses

Eastern and Central Europe, Prague and Krakow, trains, planes, and traveling. Spending time outdoors, so... hiking, biking, camping, camp fires, beaches, walking, laying, standing, staring.
