CURRENT MISSION

Experience as much as possible in life

ABOUT ME

I am an open minded, easy going kind of person who likes to meet new people and experience new things. I recently graduated from Gettysburg College and plan to eventually pursue a graduate degree in marine sciences, but feel that now is a good time to explore for a bit.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life with an open mind and an open heart, and when life is over both will be fuller for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I unfortunately do not have any space to let people stay, but would love to provide a friendly chat, ride, or anything if you are in my area. As soon as I can have a couch/floor/bed for others to crash I can't wait to meet people and have them stay with me.

Interests

I love the outdoors and all the adventures it brings, reading on a rainy day, sitting and talking with friends, like to cook, love to eat even more, I enjoy a nice glass of wine or a good beer, and love to meet new people and places.
