CURRENT MISSION

You must be the change you wish to see in the world

ABOUT ME

Currently, I am an Urban Planning student. Part of my program has encouraged me to take internships in different places. I am originally from Cincinnati, lived in Santa Fe, NM for 9 months and Denver for 3 months (with Cincy in between) for the past 2 years. My next Adventure brings me to Amsterdam where I'm studying abroad September - January :)

PHILOSOPHY

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to the couch-surfing community... I have yet to have any experience beyond a monthly meet up in Denver, but I am looking forward to starting! I have some friends involved and they have met some amazing people and I'm excited to be doing the same.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I guess you can say I've already been doing plenty of couch surfing amongst friends and friends of friends, but never as a part of the website. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and using CouchSurfing in my upcoming travels :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am a native Cincinnati-an. I had lived there my whole life. Traveling was still a part of who I was getting involved in groups or opportunities that allowed me to get these experiences. Part of my program involves internships and alternating our school and work quarters. Instead of working within Cincinnati I took this opportunity to get out of Cincy and explore new places. My first two quarters I came out to Santa Fe, and it is the best thing I have done for myself. Other adventures include a quarter in Denver, various camping trips, and currently spending the semester in Amsterdam and looking forward to exploring Europe.
