CURRENT MISSION

To dance in the hills of Austria while singing songs from The Sound Of Music

ABOUT ME

I'm currently at Lehigh University in PA, USA studying Anthropology and History. I'm also a member of the Lehigh University Track and Field team, specializing in the hammer throw. You can often find me sitting on my porch drinking tea, talking with friends or reading. I also spend my time adventuring the great outdoors.
I'm currently traveling through Europe with my best friend for a sociology/anthropology research trip. Our goal is to experience as much as we can in order to gain insight, understanding, and a broadened perspective of the world and our place in it.

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody's got something.

"Put down the pen someone else gave you. No one ever drafted a life worth living on borrowed ink." - Kerouac

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently my best friend Therese and I are on a research travel trip through Europe. We are looking to meet as many people as possible, crash on some couches and go on adventures.
Travel Plans:
We are spending a month in Duisburg, Germany. Following that we will be traveling through Europe, beginning on July 15th! Our tentative route is Berlin->Prague->Salzburg->Zell Am See->Graz->Budapest->->Stuttgart->Dusseldorf (to catch our flight back to the states)
I've posted some pictures of Therese on my profile so you can get a look at her beautiful face.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing experience is just beginning, but I feel it will be long and fulfilling relationship.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Therese and I started a Meditation Club at our university. It may not sound like an "amazing thing", but it has been such a joy to create a space for our peers to learn and experience the practice of meditation.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share: Therese and I both love to guide meditations!
Therese also has an INCREDIBLE singing voice and plays the guitar. She's a kick ass songwriter who can bring tears to your eyes and inspire you.
And if you're interested, I'd be happy to give you a dreadlock or two :)
