Hello fellow world-saunterers!

I am:
-a recent college graduate
-an aspiring travel/novel writer
-pescatarian
- thirsty for adventure

The only thing "about me" that I know for certain, is that I will never lead a stationary lifestyle. Once a place becomes home, my insatiable curiosity fixates upon another location, and a new journey begins. Perhaps my next adventure might lead to your doorstep!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The tourism industry has convoluted the very nature of what it truly means to travel: to genuinely experience life in an unfamiliar place. Couchsurfing allows the host to form an international friendship, while providing the traveler with a true (and econonomically feasible!) taste of the country. This type of culture exchange enables travelers on a budget, like myself, to indulge in the richness of culture, rather than the luxury of resorts and other posh nonsense. I can't wait to begin!

-Learning life lessons from the elder folk
