Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To travel Europe and beyond and meet as many amazing people and find as many beautiful places as I possibly can in a month! I want to have my mind opened to the world...I want to be cultures shocked and learn about cultures and languages around the world
ABOUT ME
My friend and I are two recent college graduates who have saved money over the past year and decided to travel Europe for a month...afterwards, I will be traveling to the Middle East to teach English and he will be returning to America.
We are two very nice people open to all new experiences...but we are certainly not rich! Through couch surfing, we hope to meet as many interesting people as possible and do as many cool things as they have to show us...not to mention save a few bucks! But we will be eternally grateful for any help we can receive.
PHILOSOPHY
I think people should utilize every moment they have...this sometimes makes it difficult to just live in the moment and enjoy it, but it is where I am now in my life...I think that too many people give in to spending their lives in comfortably, and I am choosing to the do opposite; you should push yourself as far as you can and travel to see new places and meet new people and see new things. Doing this and not what is safe and easy and obvious makes you open your mind, and thus, grow.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I hope to have a great couch surfing experience so that I can give back and be a host when I am fortunate enough to have a place in the world.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have never couch surfed until this trip through the website...but I have slept on my share of couches and almost prefer them over a bed!
Interests
Traveling, traveling, and more traveling, hiking, cooking, talking to people from all walks of life, learning and teaching language, going out, making sure everyone is always having a great time

Music, Movies, and Books
On the Road by Jack Kerouac, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll, Pulp Fiction, There Will be Blood, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Rolling Stones...that's tw of each, and I'll leave it at that.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I stayed in the desert in Israel one night almost until the sun rose...I sat with Israelis I have never met before and watched a fire burn down to nothing. It was a truly unreal experience...it could have been at any moment in time. I felt such a connection with the sky and the earth...I hope to do more things like that.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to learn my way around every city I can, and I want to see things that both are sites you need to see before you die...but maybe that aren't in any travel books! I want to teach people to communicate with each other despite culture and language...it's something I am good at and don't quite understand why everyone isn't because it is so easy!
