CURRENT MISSION

adventure and new experiences.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very creative person. I would say my main interests are: kayaking, hiking and traveling/adventure. I studied for 3 months in Florence and then went on to spend 2 weeks in Poland with relatives. I went on to travel by train throughout Western Europe with a EuRail pass.

PHILOSOPHY

Live simply to simply live.
Always follow through.
Experience is the best teacher.
Be a DOER, not simply a TALKER.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tell everyone I know about CS in the hopes that they will do it too somewhere. I think that no trip would be complete without at least one CS experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Vienna, Austria
Budapest, Hungary
Nice, France
Toulouse, France

I hope to do more...soon

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Peru and climbed down into the Colca Canyon. While there, I ate alpaca and llama meat, as well as roasted guinea pig.

Teach, Learn, Share

I consider myself an artist. I like all things wacky and weird. On the other hand - the simplest piece can make the biggest impact.
