ABOUT ME

I will not let the weak dollar stop me from traveling! Never. Save, save, save, and then travel, travel, travel. I just graduated from university and after having slaved away in the hellish Texas summer, I'm off to Holland and Ireland for some new soul rejuvenating adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

I strive to always keep learning and to be really engaged with whatever it is that I am doing at the moment. I also think that open-mindedness is an important trait which determines just how interesting your life can get.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I return, my housemates and I will be welcoming people onto our couch in Austin. She just got back from traveling all over Europe and raved about what a great community this is. We both lived in a cooperative in college and love meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I went to Europe I arrived in Paris, jetlagged and groggy. We hadn't seen anything but the inside of airports for what felt like days. We got onto the Metro directly from CDG airport. I have seen a lot of amazing thing since then but nothing remains so clearly in my mind as emerging from the metro for that first sight of Paris. It was dusk and it had just rained and the deserted street glowed and shimmered and I sucked in my first breath of fresh, May Parisian air and I was addicted.
