CURRENT MISSION

See as much of Europe as possible before being relegated back to the isolation of the States

ABOUT ME

I'm an undergraduate student from California studying at the University of Bristol for this semester, although "studying" is a bit of a loose term since I'm spending as much time as possible traveling :) I'm new to the couchsurfing lifestyle, but I have many friends who have had amazing adventures on various couches and want to try my luck! I am a very easygoing, outgoing person, clean and low-maintenance. I'm a bookworm but know how to have a good time too ;) I'll read anything I can get my hands on and usually am in the midst of more than one book at any given time, I love exploring and getting lost in the cities that I'm traveling in, and I adore meeting new people! That's about it really, I'm pretty horrible at summarizing myself :)

PHILOSOPHY

Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth."
Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path."
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself like a lotus of countless petals.
