About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live it up before my health fails me.

ABOUT ME

When I was 3, I flew from California to Alaska all by myself. I loved the experience, and I've been traveling ever since. Some of my favorite memories have been purely spontaneous, and that's my attitude when I go to new places. I've tasted lamb penis and drank snake blood in foreign countries. It was awesome.

Here's to spontaneity :)

PHILOSOPHY

"A mind is like a parachute; it only functions when open."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I check my couchsurfing account weekly and especially when I know I am traveling to somewhere new. I plan to participate more once I get a place of my own, graduate, and start traveling!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had only a handful of couchsurfing experience, but each and every one of them was wonderful! I've stayed with couchsurfers in Bahamas and hosted a guy from Ohio.

Interests

I love the world of literature, but journalism has been my forte as of late. I also love roadtrips, stumbleupon, and dancing to techno.

"Scott Pilgrim Vs the World" is a new addition to my favorite movies! Other favorites include "The Breakfast Club", "Big Fish", "Amelia", "Nightmare Before Christmas", "Before Sunrise", and "Paris J'Taime".

Books: "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger, "Walk Two Moons" by Sharon Creech, "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess, "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster, and more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a few days exploring Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and it was nothing like anything I've seen before.
