CURRENT MISSION

To leave the world a little better than I found it.

ABOUT ME

Oh well, let's see now. I'm currently studying abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland and have met some of the most fantastic people in the world. Originally from New York, I go to Fairfield University in Connecticut and am in the middle of six months in Scotland. I'm an English Creative Writing and International Studies double major and Humanitarianism minor. I'm interested in all kinds of human rights organizations and love studying how NGOs and private organizations are helping to save the world. I'm an absurdly optimistic person and generally very happy and content with life.

PHILOSOPHY

Take every opportunity physically possible to learn something.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my first experience with Couch Surfing and once I have a couch of my own, I will gladly offer it to weary travelers as others have offered theirs to me! This whole operation gives me faith in humanity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now I have only ever stayed in hostels while traveling but I'm really looking forward to meeting people who live in the cities I am traveling to and being a host once I get back home. I'll write more about my couchsurfing experiences once I have them!

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Amazing thing done or seen... well I've traveled all over the United States, lived in the UK, done service trips to the Philippines and the Dominican Republic, and I've been to Australia (I got to pet a kangaroo! that was cool). Past that, I'd say the most amazing thing I've seen was Billy Joel playing at Madison Square Garden. Unbelievable.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I can certainly teach you how to Irish step dance or make a mean French Toast. I'm quite talented that way. Past that, the best I can do is teach you my views on life. Whatever they are worth, I leave that up to your judgement.
