About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the fullest and collect adventures in traveling and everything else I do

ABOUT ME

I'm living in New York City, working in Search Engine Optimization (if anyone wants to geek out about data, I'm super game)!

I really want to travel while I'm young and have have the time and freedom (more or less). South America is one of my desired destinations as well as going back to Europe. I love meeting people, especially people from other cultures and backgrounds! Discussions with me often include politics, and how crazy our American political system is.

PHILOSOPHY

Always do your best; Be responsible and live with integrity.

Life is short, and we can only really count on this moment.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to meet people and make them feel welcome in this huge but warm city of New York.

I have met several people for a drink, and it has been a really cool experience. I've surfed in Gratz, Austria with another friend, haven't had anyone stay on my couch.

Interests

Playing guitar/writing music, having enlightening conversations, being silly (and getting out of my head), photography

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost all kinds of music, definitely anything I can dance to. I don't watch movies very often, but when I do, I like movies that make me think, laugh or cry (ie Fight Club, The Office and Garden State).

I like mostly non-fiction, especially books about culture/sociology. I love podcasts--mostly news and explanations about economics and such. Also data. Always the data.

Teach, Learn, Share

Informatics. If you need help with data analysis, using Microsoft Access, I'd love to help :).

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
