ABOUT ME

Despite the fact that I'm really easy going, I'm totally down for any adventure you can throw at me ... except sky diving. I'm a photography student at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. This semester, however, I made the big move to Paris! I'll only be here until June, so I have to squeeze as much traveling in as humanly possible. Enter couchsurfing.

PHILOSOPHY

Fake it 'til you make it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had one couchsurfing experience so far, but it was lots of fun! It's a great opportunity to see the city as the locals do; much more intimate and all-telling than simply wandering around like a tourist.

Interests

I love living in big cities, but there's nothing that gets me more excited than fabulous landscapes. Whenever I have the opportunity to soak up some nature, I wonder why I ever chose to live in a concrete jungle.

Music, Movies, and Books

Stand By Me is my ultimate favorite movie. There's nothing better than a young River Phoenix and a killer '50s soundtrack.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Florida afforded me many opportunities for adventure. One particular night that stuck with me above all others was during the summer before my sophomore year of college. My best friends and I loaded up a mini-van with two massive Kayaks and headed to the beach for a midnight trip. On that night, the moon was virtually non-existent and the sky was especially dark. As a result, we were able to see the phosphorescence in the water to an unbelievable extent. With each stroke of our paddles, the water glittered like fairy dust. We could even see the trails of light swirling around as fish swam beneath our kayaks. It was absolutely breathtaking.
