About Me

CURRENT MISSION

have an awesome gap year!

ABOUT ME

hi! I am a taking a year off before university to travel through Europe. I am open-minded..to things I like. And most of the other stuff t oo. Trying to better myself, make mistakes, and learnabout all the things I don't know. Like learning how to use public transportation. Basically trying to put my life into perspective and learn some stuff I wouldn't if I had stayed home.

I like to be outdoors, and to play sports that don't require skill. I like to wake up early just so I can fall back asleep. I like talk radio and psychology.
I like going out and random adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have Couch-surfed with my family in Montreal and Quebec, Canada. My family has hosted surfers at our house in Michigan. On my own, I have surfed in Germany and gone to some fun events in Berlin.

Just surfing for now, which has been a lot of fun.
