CURRENT MISSION

is to live my life to the fullest potential :) In the process of doing that, I hope to learn, to love, to adventure, have fun, and work hard.

ABOUT ME

I like to laugh and have a good time. At the moment I am happy that I can say I love my job and I enjoy what I do. I am generally a laid back person. I like taking hikes in the woods with my dog, hanging out with my friends and spending time online watching documentaries or playing games. I am passionate about making this world better :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Live and let live."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still kind of new to this site. I let CouchSurfing verify my location and phone number. I surfed once when I traveled to Boston and Cambridge and stayed with Frances. I met some really awesome people on my trip :) I had a wonderful experience and am hoping to surf again soon. I might be willing to let someone stay with me on their adventures and travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed once on a trip to Boston. I had a wonderful time! I met some really awesome people along the way. The lady I stayed with was really nice. Boston and Cambridge are beautiful. I walked around a lot, explored and saw so much. The view from the art museum was amazing! Also I ended walking into a very awesome vegetarian restaurant for lunch and ended up having a pretty cool conversation with the person sitting next to me. Ialso fell in love with the little store Joie de Vivre that I randomly found on one of my walks :) For these reasons, I think Couchsurfing is awesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked some awesome trails in Israel that took me along beautiful landscapes of sand dunes, mountains, hidden water falls, and awesome swimming holes that you can only get to by following a path along a cliff.

Also I got to see children in India get running water for the first time :)
