CURRENT MISSION

To see things worth more than words.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 25-year-old journalism student. I have decided to stop dreaming about travel and actually get it done. I've been abroad once (to the UK and Paris after college) and I want to see so much more.

PHILOSOPHY

Always keep an open mind, especially to ideas that challenge your worldview.

Never linger on the negative more than necessary.

Never assume you're better than anyone else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, my current apartment can't accommodate visitors for the time being. However, I'd be happy to show any visitors to the Cambridge area around, and show them my favorite pubs and places to go.

It's all new to me!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're going to be riding crowded subways, get yourself a pack to put your passport and money in that you can tie around your chest or under your arm, and put it under your jacket or sweater when you ride. My friend once learned the hard way what happens when you leave your passport exposed for even a split second on a crowded subway.
