CURRENT MISSION

To sleep on as many couches and run as many miles in as many different locations around the world as I can. Oh, and get over to Europe for some backpacking!

ABOUT ME

Just graduated from CCSU and now I'm job hunting after spending a few months hiking and traveling. I have a degree in English and love reading and writing. I'm easy going, love the outdoors, and am excited to meet new people! I'm a vegetarian, deaf in my left ear, can count cards, juggle, and make origami. And more!

PHILOSOPHY

I love to learn, so if you have a craft or hobby that you're interested in, I'd love to hear about it.

I try to fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds of distance running...and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and being hosted, and sharing talents, stories and more with the community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Montreal for two nights and had an exciting, memorable experience. Met some great people and took away so much, including a newfound love of vegetarian sushi.

Interests

Running (ran the Boston Marathon in 2010 as a bandit), traveling, couchsurfing, geocaching, hiking, anything outdoors really. Swimming and cycling, too. I want to swim the English channel one day. Oh, and reading (english major), poetry, and everything else!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in Lindos, Greece. We swam under caves and scooped up salt crystals from the depths.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to juggle, share some pretty adventurous stories, or even bring you dumpster diving! I'm currently learning Mandarin Chinese and would love to teach you some of a language, or likewise to learn. I have a lot of little hidden talents, and I'm sure you'll see some of them.
