CURRENT MISSION learn, explore, grow. ABOUT ME I'm a semi-recent college grad, still living near campus. Since moving into this neighborhood a few years ago, I've fallen into an amazing community of creative people. I like spending time at the local bars or (weather permitting) on porches and at bonfires. The people are what make a place interesting, and I intend to meet as many people as I can. Those who get to know me seem to like me. I'm a little bit funny, pretty level-headed, and always adventurous. I live in Detroit, which I love. Detroit is so complex and constantly evolving. Always interesting and always beautiful My favorite way to travel is to arrive in a city and simply walk around. Exploration motivates my feet. I want to see as much as I can, and pedestrian activity is the soul of any city. When in more rural areas, I am constantly in awe of the beauty of nature. I never get tired of trees, rain, and sunsets. Such logical chaos... PHILOSOPHY I think we should all try to make things better, even in small ways. Especially in small ways. Big ideas are great, but I really get a kick out of the simple things that every one can do. I love that people have a need to connect to each other and make the world smaller. And CouchSurfing is a great way to do that!

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I love showing people around Detroit! I think this is such an amazing and unique city. Hosting surfers is a great excuse to get out and explore. I'm also fairly knowledgable about this city and some of its history. If you're interested, I'll talk your ear off. Last Fall I traveled through Europe and had an amazing time! I mostly stayed in hostels, but the people I've met and the fun I've had have absolutely invigorated my life. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've hosted a few surfers now, and we've had a lot of fun exploring Detroit. In Galway, I stayed with the best people and had the best fun! (still thinking of you, Sarah!) I've also met several surfers being hosted by friends of mine. I really enjoy spending time with people who are curious and eager for experience, and who open my eyes to the rest of the world.
Eine tolle Sache, die ich getan habe
In Ireland, I biked around the Dingle Peninsula and learned to dance in Doolin. In Italy, I went to the top of Mt. Vesuvius to see the crater and to look out over the Bay of Naples. I had never breathed air that thin, and the fog was so thick I couldn't see my feet, much less an good views. We had a good laugh about it.
Lehren, Lernen, Teilen
Being a recent interior design grad and former architecture student, I really love Detroit's architecture and history. I could definately show you some highlights, but I don't claim to be an expert. Designing for people means understanding people. By meeting new people, I hope to bette understand the common threads among us. I'm also handy with tools. I don't know much about cooking, but I love helping out.
Meine Interessen
I like art, music, history, the exploration of places and cultures. I like exploring the city, going to events, museums, concerts, etc. Anywhere people are coming together, getting to know each other, and learning from each other. I realize that a lot of people come to Detroit to see the ruins. This offends some of the locals, but I get it. There's beauty in the ruins. Some of the explorations are amazing experiences. But keep in mind that the pictures you take have already been taken by a thousand other people. "Blight porn" is very rarely art. And this city has a million other things to offer! So come see the ruins, but also see the amazing, vibrant city we have become.
