CURRENT MISSION

I'm trying to fill in my map of the world with the perspective from every couch.

ABOUT ME

I am currently couch surfing for one year as an exchange student living in Stuttgart, Germany with the most wonderful host family I could possibly imagine. I am from the U.S. originally from New York City and most recently from Fairfield, CT.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am not living at home and won't be for some time, at least until July when I go back to the States. Unfortunately I cant host anyone here saying as this is not my house and not in my jurisdiction to have guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet

Interests

Outdoor sports; skiing, biking, backpacking, hiking... traveling. Arts, music, literature. I have been fencing competitively, both nationally (in the U.S. and internationally in Europe). I am an avid walker and ready to spontaneously travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked through the southern most chain of the New Mexican Rocky Mountains. Killed my dinner in a dirt hut in Costa Rica, Hiked the Appalachian trail through most of New England, finished High School in America, and now I'm in Germany!

Teach, Learn, Share

From being an exchange student in Germany for a year I have seen how learning passively through experience can be even more useful when you begin to later, actively teach.
