CURRENT MISSION

To expand my horizons...literally

ABOUT ME

I've been living in NYC for the past 5 years, after making the move from Ann Arbor, MI, and am looking forward to my first solo european trek this summer - a Paris, Berlin, and Dublin adventure, perfectly structured with ten days in each.

PHILOSOPHY

Stand "apart from the pulling and hauling...amused, complacent, compasionating, idle, unitary...both in and out of the game and watching and wondering at it all." - Walt Whitman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will most likely be staying with my current roommate in Paris, my brother in Berlin, but Dublin is purely solo. I've always been called to Ireland, and thought the best way to discover its nuances would be from locals themselves. I would love to stay on some couches, during my ten day visit.

Seeing as how I just joined, I have yet to host a lovely traveler, but look forward to spreading the wealth so to speak.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never used this website before, but it was recommended by a trustworthy source. I've spent many a night on a friends couch, and love the idea of travelers from across the world opening their doors to like minded individuals.
