About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see it all, and to love people along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a bit of an accidental vagabond, and I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I'm a nerd who likes to learn, but culture and people are my favorite topic. I get bored easily, and for me, the bigger a city, the better.
I try to live frugally and am constantly plotting where to travel next. it could be an addiction, but certainly is a passion.

PHILOSOPHY

"we love because he first loved us"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, I host. I hang out with the people my sister is hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my first couchsurfing was in Geneva, Switzerland, persuaded by a couchsurfing friend...it was extremely positive.

Interests

I love to write/read, photograph the things I encounter, eat food, bike, drink coffee. I like being with people. On a rare occasion, I do all those things all at once.

  • culture
  • dining
  • coffee
  • drinking
  • traveling
  • juggling
  • guitar
  • cycling

Music, Movies, and Books

my "top 5" movies list has more than 5 movies on it, but a sample list would include: eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, monsoon wedding, motorcycle diaries, stranger than fiction, 500 days of summer, etc.
music is oxygen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

India may top the list because of the pure chaos of that country...wildly gorgeous.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you guitar, the Korean alphabet, or how to juggle. but perhaps more relevant, I can tell you about teaching English in Korea, traveling around Europe, or quitting a job for sanity's sake.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Oman, Peru, Portugal, Romania, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City State
