CURRENT MISSION

I'm in a constant state of existential crisis and just want to learn as much as I can about the world around me

ABOUT ME

Not possible to summarize myself. I can say I'm young, love to travel, live to laugh, and always find the silver lining.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll let you know when I figure that one out...for now I just follow the Golden Rule

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world should be a smaller place. I love the way showing someone my city makes me explore it in new ways. Sharing with others gives me an opportunity to learn new things for myself.
