PHILOSOPHY

Unless some amazing discovery is made these 80 years are probably all that we have in this world. I intend to make the most of them.

"Our battered suitcases were were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life."
-Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will be traveling extensively across Europe for the next 6 months on a ridiculously low budget. Currently I am in the middle of transitioning for a semester abroad in Madrid, Spain so I have no couch to offer as of now. But when I get my feet on the ground please come visit me anytime!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While staying with a friend in Bloomington, IN I met my first CouchSurfer. I admit I was skeptical of the whole operation at the outset but after spending two days with this guy I knew this was a community I needed to be a part of. I can't wait to further my involvement
