CURRENT MISSION

I guess to travel, see everything there is to see...or as much of it as I can on a students budget.

ABOUT ME

Well, I´m still going to college, but between semesters I try to travel as much as possible.
I go to Appalachian State UNiversity in Boone,NC. It´s a great town and beautiful too. I guess thats all I really have to say for now!

PHILOSOPHY

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." Dalai Lama
My plan is to spread health and life. I'm studying International Public Health and plan on changing some things about the worlds health care situation......

I guess on the more youthful side, I love to do as much as possible while I can!
:If everything seems under control, you´re just not going fast enough..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never have had a couch surfing experience yet, except just crashing on friends couches.

Interests

I am interested in you, and all people. I love being outside, drinking good wine and beer, listening to music and singing when there´s not music on. I enjoy sitting around talking to people about thier experiences and telling them mine....There´s more, but not right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a year between high school and College traveling. First, I went to Bolivia for 4 months where I lived with an amazing family, took spanish classes and volunteered in the pediatric department of a local hospital.
After that I went to London where I lived for 5 months with a great couple and worked at a school for people with Cerebral Palsy. This last year I spent 2 months in Argentina followed by 5 months in Ghana.
I´ve met the most amazing people on my travels, and I think that´s the most amazing part.

Teach, Learn, Share

I´ve traveled a lot in my life, and although I can´t really teach people about the places I´ve been, I can teach them what I´ve learned from them. I can teach about what it´s like to grow up in New York and what it´s really like to be a college student in The States (it´s not really like the movies!)haha....
