CURRENT MISSION

Live in a free-spirited traveling world while participating in transformative discovery while traveling

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people with similar and different visions. I truly believe living in multicultural society we need to embrace and understand difference! I love talking with passionate people concerning all kinds of topics from life, happiness, love, philosophy, religion... I am all about experiencing the moment, and enjoy traveling and living with a free spirit

I studied abroad in 2005 in Rome, Italy through my university. I traveled to Dublin, Switzerland and Barcelona. I loved Rome and the other Italian cities and the italian culture.

I am going back to Rome, Italy to work for the Spring of 2009 and Fall of 2009. I am looking forward to using couchsurfing to meet other Rome CSers and to couchsurf all around Italy to meet other Italians and gain a better understanding of culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tell everyone about couchsurfing and spread the CS spirit. I also participate by providing information, suggestions, tips to people traveling around Italy, especially around le Cinque Terre. If you have any questions check my group posts for that group or send me a message

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my CouchSurfing experience is through just talking to a friend who has been with this for a few years now and hearing his inspirational experiences. I had my first couchsurfer stay over back in September of 2007. I showed Thomas a little bit of Pittsburgh, while giving him advice on where to explore. He came to my Existentialism philosophy class and my Intercultural Communication class.
I really want to meet new people all over the world and travel all over the world
