CURRENT MISSION

Seeing the world.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, went to school in Southern Minnesota, lived in Rome for 4 months, and just finished a 2 year Peace Corps Service in Eastern Mongolia.
I love to travel and see new things, but above all, I love meeting new people all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"Wherever you go, there you are"

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing, and meeting up with CSers whenever I can!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was fairly isolated in Mongolia (no internet), but I had a few surfers stumble upon my ger. We had a wonderful time and I was able to play tour guide to the most interesting parts of my community.

And it's always nice to speak English, since I am the only foreigner in the town :)

Música, películas y libros

I am a sucker for stupid funny films i.e. Ace Ventura, Wayne's World, Dumb and dumber.

I love music in general. I have no qualms with any genre, but as of late, I have been favoring bluegrass.

Same goes for books. I'll read anything I can get my hands on.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I've lived 2 years in a Mongolian ger on the edge of the Gobi Desert.

Mongolia is an amazing country.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Let's see. I have a basic knowledge of birds and plants, but I hunger to know more. Living in Mongolia has taught me how to make a pretty awesome fire and survive in the cold.

I studied at a liberal arts school so I know how to read, write, and think.

And I can knit.
