Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To save the world, one letter at a time
ABOUT ME
Currently I am writing a book in Budapest, Hungary about identity and purpose. I am collecting oral histories and personal narratives about seeking identity, faith, what is means to be living in Budapest in 2014, and what individuals have come to understand about themselves and about the world. The book was funded on Kickstarter in March 2014 and is consistently changing shape and form depending on social input and need. Holler if you are interested in chatting or contributing!
PHILOSOPHY
Say yes to things. Dare to dream. Dream big. Treat others as you'd like to be treated. The world will see you as you see yourself.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am an active runner, meditator, yogi, beer-drinker, adventure-seeker, and all-around fun-loving philosophy-talking friend-to-be.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far I have no formal experience with couch surfing. My current roommate hosts couch surfers often, so I have experience hanging out with them. I have also been known to host visitors on my couch, but did not know there was a website to host guests until this month! Most recently I spent a weekend with a couch surfer visiting my apartment at a stop on a 3 month Eurotrip. I am now looking for couches to stay on during some international travel in between writing. Welcome to me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have worn two different colored socks since the moment I could dress myself
Teach, Learn, Share
Yoga and meditation (to teach and to learn!), writing, meeting your next girlfriend or boyfriend, getting to know strangers at coffee shops, listening to your gut, homemade art and clothing, nutrition and wellness, running. I would love to learn more Spanish and Hungarian! Mostly would love to learn about you and your culture - where are you from and what's it like? Why are you going where you are going? How's the journey?
