CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm an optimist. I'm also incredibly outgoing and love trying new things, especially if they involve something that get's my adrenaline going. I'm a complete thrill seeker, and love skydiving and motorcycles, but for the most part I love just chilling with a good book. In a blanket fort if possible.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophies can be mostly summed up into two cliched phrases: There's a bright side to every situation, and always treat others the way you'd like to be treated. Also, life needs to be spontaneous.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm still new to CouchSurfing, but give me a few months...

Interests

I'm up for anything really, but my favorite things are traveling, sky diving, board games (Settlers of Catan, Scrabble), reading, movies (current favorite: Shawn of the Dead), dancing, partying, motorcycles, secret passageways, and riddles. At the moment I'm studying abroad in the Galapagos, so I spend most of my time either studying in a hammock or snorkeling with sea lions. But when I come home this summer, I'm going to try to be an extra in any movies shot around Boston.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love anything written by Agatha Christie, Terry Pratchett, and Neil Gaiman. I'm currently going through a zombie movie phase, and my favorite tv shows are Community, Game of Thrones (great books!), Sherlock, Arrested Development, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Firefly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once charged by a black rhino while hiking through Kenya.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you come back in two years I'll be able to teach you how to scuba dive.
