About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See as much of the world as I can...I don't want to miss a thing. I was living in Amsterdam studying until recently, but am about to move to London for work.

ABOUT ME

I want to see everything. I also want to eat everything (and I mean everything). Exploring is my favorite thing to do - I think one day the whole world will be connected by high speed tubes that can shoot you from one end to the other in under an hour, but until then I am living on the cheap and taking trains, planes, and automobiles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all over the world, and I know that locals know all the tips, tricks, and secret watering holes I wouldn't be able to find on my own...and I want to show anyone who comes to my end of the world the same secrets I hope to discover on my travels :)

Interests

I love all types of music and language study; I did synchronized swimming for 9 years and soccer for 7...I love to eat weird foods that I can't find anywhere else!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Possibly cliff diving in Italy? I saw some young Italian kids climbing the cliff and jumping, and I decided right then and there to conquer my fear of heights! It took me so long to jump, standing on the edge of the cliff, that the entire beach ended up staring at me and then chanting my name until I finally jumped.

Also, once I slipped into a parallel universe. I’m not sure how I did it but I’d like to do it again some day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendship, and when I am back in Boston a couch to stay on!
