I was an exchange student to Denmark in 2003/2004 and that year changed my life. It really put my life into perspective and I was able to not only learn about the Danish culture and language but I was able to learn about my own culture and language. Ever since I have been obsessed with traveling. I love life and live life to its fullest everyday. I grew up in the Northern California mountains so I like to spend a lot of time outside in nature. I spend a lot of time reading, taking pictures and spending time with my friends and family, keeping up on my Danish as well as running, and playing soccer. After getting my bachelors degree I went to Laos and taught English for a year, such a great experience. Currently I teacher at a private intercity school.
Everything that I have experienced in my life has made me the person I am today, I take those experiences lived and learn from them.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to it's fullest. Live as if it's your last day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfed in Paris, Budapest, Berlin and Copenhagen. Had such a great experience. I plan to participate again and as soon as I have an available couch. For now I am available to meet up.

I loved the experience I had with Emily in Paris, France. Talking in the evening when I first arrived getting to know her and her getting to know me. Having breakfast in the morning and going to the French Independence celebration at the river.
