About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to meet everyone.

ABOUT ME

So I'm a college student, I haven't been home in a really long time and strangely I don't mind too much. I really really like running, like really running for exercise and moving quickly through life. Stopping to take a breath bothers the heck out of me. I have come to deeply appreciate bus drivers and strangers who give correct directions, and even more people who take you home when they realize you will never understand their directions. I smile almost all the time.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm totally up in the air at this point, I feel like a spectator to a great show but also the only person that can make it worth viewing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couch surfed in a couple of cities in Europe, and met up with a few surfers as well. They certainly make the best companions and I can't wait to see who it'll be next!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

By and far the best experience had to be David in Valencia, even though we just met up to tour for the day, it was the most fun I've ever had. We met a million other people, had some crazy adventures (like finding a 200 foot tall Gulliver playground!) and an all around amazing day. Everyone I've stayed with has been incredible hospitable and I hope to do the same!

Interests

Well, new things. too many things actually, I love to dance, I play soccer and rugby and tennis a lot. Reading is more important to me than it should be. I bet cooking works better than any drug to boost your mood.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is there to make you smile! Oldies are my favorite (Tom Petty especially!)
I haven't seen too many movies, I never seem to find the time but my favorite is The Cooler
Books are huge. Right now its mostly guidebooks and I'm trying to find a Spanish author I like so I can practice while I read!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did sun salutations as the sun came up on Mesada in Israel...probably the closest to heaven I have ever felt.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a great cook, my crepes are world-renowned!
