About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spread enjoyment to as many people as I can

ABOUT ME

Lived in Arizona until the end of highschool and now going to college in Switzerland. Thankfully I am a senior so school will be over soon enough. Not entirely sure what I am going to do after that.

I love reading, traveling, writing, photography, hiking, and all sorts of outdoor activities.

Played soccer for 12 years but stopped after multiple injuries (mostly unrelated to soccer) prevented me from performing at 100%

I have experienced so much in my life it is hard to write it all down. So you guys can find most of the rest of it out by asking me when we finally meet.

PHILOSOPHY

People can be good, shit happens, life goes on, and we might as well enjoy it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far just surfing. But hopefully when I get out of college I will have a place to host people. Since I am so new I am still looking into how I can participate more

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed in Luassane with a couple. It was very enjoyable and visited with people who were surfing with friends of mine. Also stayed with a person in Feldkirch, Austria, and then Vienna as well. Both were amazing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went swimming in the Arctic Ocean on a small island above the Arctic Circle, north of Iceland called Grimsey on my 21st birthday.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite a bit about religions and how they relate to nations. My thesis is hopefully going to be about how religion effects development and modernization within countries
