CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to be in motion. College has been great, and I love the region I'm living in but I'm ready for a change of scenery, an adventure and an opportunity to share stories/thoughts/views/experiences.

ABOUT ME

I can:

build an improvised shelter in any location;

be the wackiest, yet most determined person you'll meet;

find joy in the littlest of things (springtails-probably one of the coolest insects ever)

Come May 2012 I will have completed a 4 yr college degree with a major in outdoor education and a minor in environmental education. My goal is to expose as many people as possible to the amazing opportunities that lie within the natural world in the most life altering way possible.

PHILOSOPHY

To each their own.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only just sunk into the couch surfing scene as I will soon be embarking on a trip of a lifetime all over Europe. I want to explore the small towns and the rural countryside while meeting people with similar interests who could either house me for a night or two or recommend some sites to see throughout my travels.
