About Me
CURRENT MISSION
make myself leave the US
ABOUT ME
I'm currently living with my parents, so I cannot offer a couch. I would however, love to meet for a cup of coffee in NJ or NY!
PHILOSOPHY
I can never tell which memories are going to be important ones, and which ones will be forgotten. Thus, it is important to experience everything in the hopes that at least one of those new experiences will result in a favorable memory.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've surfed, hosted, hung out. The whole deal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once sat on the side of the Seine and broke open bottles of beer on rocks, and then drank out of the jagged glass ends.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to learn Russian! I speak a little, but desperately want to improve. If you speak Русский язык, and want to practice with me, I would love you forever!
I can knit, if someone would want to learn. I am also an excellent baker.
