PHILOSOPHY

Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be before your time.
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

-Billy Joel

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After informally couchsurfing for awhile, decided to officially try out the site after talking to a couple friends about how great it was. Ended up writing my final term paper in college about it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Istanbul group meetings/parties, Aegean coast roadtrip, Australia backpacking, Boston meet-ups

Interessen

I love being outdoors and if I could, would travel everywhere by foot. As a sociology nerd, my favorite part of traveling is getting to talk to people about different cultures. When I get bored, I like to make stuff (purses, jewelry, etc). My mom's a musician, so music is in my blood and something that I hold near and dear to my heart.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Always down for a language exchange. I can also show you how to make a cake in a microwave using just cake mix and a Diet Coke (aka college life in a nutshell).
