CURRENT MISSION

To explore myself through exploring the world

ABOUT ME

easy laugh + deep sleeper + honest + open + "citizen of the world"

PHILOSOPHY

Too often do we live our lives interacting only with what is most accessible, living in a loop of the same pattern. My philosophy is my attempt to break from the pattern: to try new things, meet new people, and let the world change me.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm not able to host so my participation is limited to surfing. I am always happy to meet people though! And sometime in the near future I would also love to host fellow surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Berlin and I loved loved loved it. I found it to be the perfect way to explore a city through the eyes of its people. Most recently I couchsurfed/backpacked/interrailed my way through the Netherlands, Belgium and France. I cannot believe the generosity and love of people in this community -- CSing is a truly unique, beautiful experience of the world.
