CURRENT MISSION

To learn.

ABOUT ME

A lifelong explorer and traveler, who also appreciates relaxing with friends at home. I like learning languages, and I can speak English, Spanish, Chinese, German, and Arabic... more or less. The first summer of college I biked home from school (a 1400 mile journey!)

PHILOSOPHY

I am still exploring life, and how to live it; I probably always will be. Life is amazing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couchsurfed around Europe, China and some of the US, and hosted a little bit, too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first couchsurfers I hosted were Tom and Olaf... I actually just met them on a train in Germany instead of through the site, but they joined when I told them about it :)
