About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Lead an ethical revolution, since in my country, ethics are truly lacking

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty relaxed and easygoing. I enjoy sitting outside under a tree, or watching a monsoon storm from under a porch.

PHILOSOPHY

Be honest, above all. With yourself, with your partner, with your friends, with your enemies, honesty is the key to simplified living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Florence, I stayed in the apartment where my college roommate had spent the previous year abroad. Out of ten girls living there, only one of them (Zoe) had actually known my roommate, and she forgot to tell the others that I would even be staying in the apartment. When I arrived, Zoe wasn't home, and no one else knew what to do with me. I spent several minutes on the doorstep trying to convince them that I was legit, telling stories I'd heard about the pet turtle and the evil cleaning lady. Once Zoe got there, all was well, but the first hour or so was kind of awkward!

Music, Movies, and Books

I read mostly non-fiction or humor(Jack Handy, anyone?) and my favorite movies are psychological or artsy, though comedy is a close second. Loved Lost in Translation! As far as music, the collection is widely varied, though classic rock and 80s are a large part of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled by myself throughout Norway, trying to locate information about my great grandfather. The fjords and waterfalls were amazing. It was a beautiful, welcoming place.
