CURRENT MISSION

I'm still trying to figure this one out (I'm only 20, you know)

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventurous 20 year old who wants to see the world. I'm studying map-making and want to use my skills to make the world a better, more inter-connected place. I'm laid-back, comfortable, and have a really loud laugh. I'm a theater minor, so I love a good production. And good food!

PHILOSOPHY

Be the best I can be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My family has surfed a little and hosted a little. They were great experiences, and now that I'm out on my own, I've started my own CS account.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Simon was biking from Alaska to Argentina and stayed with us. I was a kid and became fascinated with CS as a means of seeing the world and the great people in it. My dad, brother and I surfed with a couple of artists in the San Francisco Bay area. They were kind, generous, and fun. I was hooked on the idea!
