CURRENT MISSION

To boldy go...

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area but I'm in the process of moving to New York City for grad school. I love new experiences, great food, the outdoors but also urban life, and to travel almost anywhere when I have the opportunity (and the money)! I just got back from a month in Southeast Asia...

PHILOSOPHY

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."

Saint Augustine, 354-430 AD

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed with a great guy in Amman--he hosted from all over the middle east while I was there (Syria, Lebanon, Israel) and we had epic spontaneous adventures to the Dead Sea and random canyons in the Jordanian wilderness! I've been hooked ever since.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I went spelunking (caving) underneath Budapest, hiked to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park, rode a bicycle in Cambodian traffic, and managed to discover a microbrewery in Palestine! (The Taybeh Brewery, if you're curious)
