CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much of the world as possible

ABOUT ME

I love excitement and adventure- I am rarely bored. My favorite people are the ones I can have adventures with. I love laughing- and sometimes laugh for no apparent reason. I am extremely clumsy and have broken most of the bones in my body.

I am known for rambling, especially when I'm tired or if there is an awkward silence. I really really like airports. Great people watching plus the impending excitement of going somewhere. I like going out, and after a couple of drinks I sometimes have a Russian or British alter ego (no promises though).

PHILOSOPHY

I think life is all about the journey and the people you meet along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a member for about a month and it has already changed my life. I met people for coffee in Duluth and surfed for a bit in Philly. I have met some really awesome people so far and am looking forward to meeting even more in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting nearby travelers for coffee and surfing in Philadelphia so far. Haven't gotten to hosting yet, hopefully I will once I return from my travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied for a term at Oxford University (which was pretty amazing to me).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English. Orrr I could teach you all about debits and credits, internal controls, and financial accounting. But I doubt you'd want to learn it, none of my friends do.

I can teach you card games and how to beat people in monopoly. I can also teach you how to belly dance (at least the few moves that I know)

I love learning, so anything you have to teach I'm sure I'd enjoy. I would really like to learn another language, I regret not taking more languages in school.
