About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love being outdoors and playing sports, meeting interesting people and enjoying the randomness of life. Currently I'm traveling through Central and South America for the next several months. I only have to be back in time for my sister's wedding in May!

PHILOSOPHY

You only get one life--enjoy it thoroughly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hosting, surfing, partying--anything and everything!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think this is the most fantastic way to learn about other countries and cultures. I love hanging out with a local (or surfer) over dinner and a bottle of wine, just listening and sharing about the world and all the wonderfully different places we've been, crazy things we've done, and amazing people we've met.

Interests

Ultimate Frisbee, hiking, politics, traveling to beautiful places, reading, soccer, and goofing off with my friends at all times
