About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see as much of the world as possible before my biological clock starts ticking

ABOUT ME

I am a recent graduate with a bad case of wanderlust. Looking to get a new perspective by exploring different countries and different ways of life.

PHILOSOPHY

Fill what's empty, empty what's full, and scratch where it itches.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think couchsurfing is the best way to really get to know a town and learn something about another culture. It has opened up so many doors for me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed and hosted and its usually been a great experience.

Interests

Reading, writing, hiking, yoga, cooking, guitar, banjo, singing, comic books, beer, fake mustaches.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am open minded so I like a little bit of everything. Most importantly jazz, jazz poetry, postcolonial literature, feminism.

I have an intellectual Achilles heel for Rodney Dangerfield movies and movies about boxing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went canopy swinging in Costa Rica when I was a kid. It was so cool!

Moved to Vietnam kind of on a whim, without a job or know ing a single soul, and its the best decision I've ever made.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anyone who can articulate an interesting point of view. I feel like I can learn something from almost anyone, regardless of his or her background.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Canada, Costa Rica, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, Spain, United States, Viet Nam
