CURRENT MISSION

Learn what it really means to be alive

ABOUT ME

I'm a little bit of everything....I'm the type of person who doesn't regret much in my life and always keeps a positive outlook for the future. I get along very well with all types of people and can quite literally have a conversation with anyone, just try me ha. I love being outdoors and pushing my limits; whether on a run, on the trail, on rock, on water, in the air...if it seems dangerous but incredibly exhilarating, I'm game. That's not to say I don't enjoy the finer things in life sometimes too. I'm currently studying Neuroscience and Philosophy pre-med at the University of Pittsburgh as an undergrad and hope to get an MD/Ph.D eventually....after getting the travel bug out of my system for a few years.

PHILOSOPHY

you can sleep when you're dead

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've gotten friends to join CS and infected them with the travel bug.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I slept on a beach in Hawaii once with some homeless people....does that count?

Update: Now I've had several awesome AWESOME CS experiences all over the place, never found a bad apple, and don't think I ever will.
