CURRENT MISSION

I just want to experience/see all the beautiful things in this world and meet cool people along the way :)

ABOUT ME

I can be silly/goofy but know when to be serious. I love to laugh but I can also tear up if I read a good book, watch a good movie, take a moment to look at the beauty around me

I like to meet new people who can teach me something and, in turn, I can teach them something...I'm kind of a nerd (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, LotR) but I'm also very outgoing and social...

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't be content to merely survive. You must demand to live in a better world, not just dream about it"
- from the movie La Finestra di Fronte

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

2010-2012 When I first moved to DC I made some really fun friends via CS by attending the local happy hours and events :)

Couchsurfed in Istanbul in 2013: for a 20 hour stopover, it was a blast!

Met up with couchsurfers in Munich to experience Oktoberfest in 2017. What a blast!!!!
