About Me

ABOUT ME

recent architecture graduate reveling in post-grad pre-adult life. i promise i'll keep the conversation going and make you laugh at least a few times

PHILOSOPHY

1. Do whatever will make the best story
2. Never plan things too much, and embrace when everything goes horribly wrong
3. It takes just as much effort to be lonely as it does to meet new people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My very close friend and roommate is the reason I became involved with the couchsurfing community. We've hosted dozens of travelers at our apartment, so I've met a lot of amazing people. I've also been to a few CS parties and events that have been great opportunities to meet new and interesting people. I'm finally making my own profile so I can become more involved. I haven't been able to host many people up to this point, but I have had incredible experiences while traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was in Detroit, and it was great. We had a blast with someone who knew all the dynamics of such a complicated city and I learned more about the culture and struggles of that place than I ever could have otherwise. During some months in Europe I was lucky enough to have many more experiences in a handful of countries, all of which have been very positive and great memories.

I've stayed with 4 other hosts now during a few months in Europe, and there isn't enough space here to write about all of the memories with them. All unforgettable!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Floated down the extremely swift Eisbach through the heart of Munich, under bridges and past cafes before climbing out and doing it again - amazing!
