ABOUT ME

I am twenty-two and trying to figure out what I should do, what needs to be done, or what does not need to be done. Reading and writing as much as possible. I want to learn to play an intrusment this summer because how great would it be to go anywhere and listen to beautiful music that comes from my fingers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with one person so far, not much experience; it was lots of fun she showed me around Angers in France. We saw some great organ music.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitch hiked from Portland, OR to Austin, Texas. About two-thousand miles (3200km). I was with a close friend who I went to school with. We met truck drivers, a catholic family, a group of native americans that were walking across the United States.

Also, I just recently went to France. While there I picked olives because it was the winter and well there was nothing else to do. It was maybe the greatest time of my life. I met and icelandic med student who became a very good friend and also a half french half german boy who liked me and sheepishly asked if I liked him too, I liked him but not like that, anyways we became good friends too. I also met these two older women one from Costa Rica the other from Belgium, who were super inspiring, strong, and I learned a lot from them. Plus I ate all this amazing french/provencal food that my host made.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking with people, gardening, reading aloud, walking to nowhere in particular for the sake of walking. And I know how to make bread and could teach what I know.
