CURRENT MISSION

To have a friend in every country... which almost sounds like something out of Sesame Street, but it would be awesome!

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty typical student, except I have this insane itch to travel and meet people from all over the world. Reality TV is my guilty pleasure, I am secretly a huge nerd, I am very outgoing and LOVE meeting new people who can tell me more about this great earth, and possibly allow me to come and visit!

PHILOSOPHY

I guess one thing my mom told me about being spontaneous is "Unless it could affect the outcome of your life in a negative way, do it. It's better to regret something you did, than something you didn't do." Aaand... I've always kind of followed that philosophy and can honestly say, I have no regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I don't have a place for someone to stay... but I would if I could! I would love to meet with you for coffee or a drink and show you Boston and what it has to offer. I've lived here for about 3 years now, so I know the area pretty well, and most of my friends are travelers as well who love meeting new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend does CouchSurfing a lot, so we've been meeting backpackers who have drifted through that apartment for a couple months now. It's been a really awesome experience so far, so much so that my friend and I are planning on CouchSurfing when we visit Spain in May!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love B-grade Horror movies like Sleepaway Camp, and weird indie flicks like Welcome to the Dollhouse. You would have to strap me down in a chair to watch anything with Adam Sandler in it (I don't judge, though.)
I'm a lit major, so books are super important to me. I love everything from Nabokov and Dostoevky to Keruoac and Bukowski. I also love psychology books and sociological analyses... I'm a huge nerd, basically.

As far as music goes, my tastes are pretty eclectic. Beirut, Radiohead, and Sufjan Stevens are up there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to 11 countries in 3 months, which was pretty insane. Though I think the most amazing thing I've ever experienced was a church service in Karanse, Tanzania. I'm an Atheist and it was in Swahili, but I can tell you it was the first and only time I ever believed in God. (Getting deep there.)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn more about good social scenes in different cities, and places where there are other travelers to meet.

As far as any advice I can give? Two words: Easyjet Deals.
