CURRENT MISSION
To liven up my obituary
ABOUT ME
I'm a college student fresh off a Semester Abroad in Morocco. I love to hear and tell stories.
I don't really have a home town because I grew up across 2 states, 4 countries, and about 7 schools. I'm pretty well-traveled, and have no intention of stopping any time soon.
PHILOSOPHY
The world is crazy...learn it, live it, love it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Just surfing for now...hope to have coffee with people passing through San Francisco when I return there in the Fall!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Not much CS experience to speak of so far...mostly just meeting random couch surfers on Haight St. in San Francisco, or crashing on my friends' couch (floor?) post-party or something
Interests
New things, interesting things...and people that fall in to those categories. I love activity...sports, exploring, anything that keeps me moving. I also enjoy food, both cooking AND eating it. And soccer (or football or footie or what have you)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
3-day camel trek in the Sahara, hands down. Seeing a desert sunrise was incredible beyond belief. Meeting a mobster there was interesting too.
Also, my last day in Morocco I somehow managed to ninja my way to a friend's house that I had visited only once before...about 2 or 3 months (and a lifetime of experiences) prior. Wandered straight in to not just her apartment complex but her ROOM on instinct alone...in an unfamiliar area of a city in Morocco. Not gonna lie...I felt pretty baller after that.
