ABOUT ME

I'm taking a gap year for myself before I head to grad school in the fall of 2014- and I'm hoping to fit in as many adventures as financially possible. I think CS is a wonderful opportunity to explore new places and make connections around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's more fun when you shake yourself out of a routine. It's uncomfortable sometimes, but worth it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed when I was traveling in Europe a couple of years ago, and I met a number of people through a CS organization when I was living in the Netherlands. I haven't couchsurfed in the US, though- I really need to do that! That said, I live in a co-op in Rochester and we host couchsurfers from all over the world. All of our surfers have been great- we've had a lot of fun together! I'll post the link for Ant Hill (our housing co-op) so you can see the references.
