ABOUT ME

Like most other couch surfers, I live to travel. One difference, however, is that I like traveling to the remotest places possible. Paris is great, but remote Montana is awesome!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to find something positive in everything. If you look hard enough, it's there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfing has been a tremendous experience for me. I have couch surfed extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe. To put it short, have couch surfed over thirty times (although sometimes through friends' accounts). It is such an incredible experience to visit an interesting place and immediately have "insider knowledge." I couch surf because I am a believer in the compassion of strangers.

Interests

I am a Global Communication major, and as such, I love meeting new people and asking tons of questions. I am "nerd-level" interested in international relations, and I also speak French.
Not surprisingly, I love adventure...cheap adventure. I travel on a dime which often involves camping...but couchsurfing when I'm lucky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had the opportunity to visit 47 of the 50 states (North Dakota, Michigan, and Hawaii here I come)! Reaching number 50 will be incredible, but I think only lacking three is a major accomplishment.
