CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of Europe as possible on my very limited budget

ABOUT ME

I am currently living in Italy after I finished my undergraduate degree in December 2008 spending some time writing and studying. I haven't had the opportunity to travel through Europe until now, and I'm looking to see as much as I can before returning to the states in September.

PHILOSOPHY

Do it while you can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have always enjoyed having guests and staying with new people. To me it's so much more rewarding than staying in a hotel!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My absolute favorite moment was swimming under a waterfall in Honduras. The hardest thing I've ever done physically, but so worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

A few little things: If you want to learn to cook or knit, I can definitely help you out. I also worked as a resume coach for a few years and have gotten plenty of strangers jobs after only a half hour of editing and organizing.

I'm looking to learn anything and everything!
