CURRENT MISSION

Making the most of the limited time in this life while trying to form some friendships along the way.

ABOUT ME

After finishing up teaching English for a school year in Spain, I'm spending a month traveling around Europe, trying to see and experience as much as I can before heading back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the whole Couchsurfing thing, but when I get back to the US I will definitely add my couch to the list.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Completed my first surf!
