CURRENT MISSION

to see new places, people, and experiences

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from American Samoa, a little island off the coast of the Pacific. Though I've lived there there for sixteen years with its wonderful beaches, I've only just learned how to swim! :\

I am currently an undergraduate studying Computer Science with an emphasis on Systems. I love eating and having a good time. I'm an information hoard, so I enjoy good conversation and an interesting book. As long as I'm comfortable with someone, I will most certainly try my best to provide a good time. By night, I like to have a couple of drinks (sometimes more) and meet new people. I like to have fun and am genuinely curious about everything. I enjoy the outdoors and I plan to visit every National Park in California by the end of 2012.

I'm taking my first ever extended trip to Western Europe from June-July 2011 with a friend from university and we're looking for a few days of couch surfing around the continent.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy every moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone skydiving,

Met trustworthy, reliable friends,
Ran a half-marathon.
