About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel to the beach

ABOUT ME

I am a recent college grad, and travel to try and explore cool places, meet cool people, and eat tasty food!

PHILOSOPHY

"A path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you. Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself alone, one question. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use."
-- Carlos Castaneda

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had SUPREME couchsurfing experiences in Italy, in Ascoli Piceno and also Pisa. Ascoli is a wonderful town, older than Rome, with really cool architecture and with Cristina hosting I had a blast both going to town as well as the beach. Pisa was also fun with great hosts, super sights, and great gelato. We had nice food I brought back from an organic farm - yeah I cooked the Italians dinner.
