About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling around the US and Canada

ABOUT ME

I take photos. I enjoy meeting people. I like experiencing new things. I enjoy reading Dave Eggers books. I'm a movie fanatic. I'm a big dork. I like laughing and making other people laugh. Did I mention that I take photos? I love to travel. I want to see the world. My favorite food is sushi.

PHILOSOPHY

Who would you be but who you are? I feel like we should be experiencing as much as possible and I want to make sure I'm making the most of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a few times but am currently surfing myself. I've realized it's more than just having a place to sleep at night -- it's more about the stories you hear and get to share. I've sent a number of people to sign up with this site though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed with Amy in New York and had a FANTASTIC experience. Met a boy from Austria and another from Australia while I was there. I couldn't have asked for more. Couchsurfed in San Francisco as well and had another great experience. Where to next...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled across country on a double decker bus from New York to San Francisco. I've also volunteered at Yellowstone for three months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I offer my photography skills in exchange for whatever you can teach me. I'm also VERY VERY interested in backpacking and anyone who knows a lot and can give me some tips would be much appreciated. My ex taught/told me a lot so I feel like I'm not completely in the dark but I literally have no experience worth mentioning so anything would be helpful :)
