I'm a 20-year old student and I've been traveling on my own for a few months now. I've attended GW for a few semesters, but the climate of the city was too cold for my developing taste. I believe that everyone can find beauty in everyone, and that there is a answer to life besides passive generalities and soap opera-esque conclusions. I find beauty in all things natural, but am negligent in being entirely organic, as are most of us. I enjoy people and listening and developing the mind and learning to develop the body as well. As far as rooming is concerned, I am flexible in whatever circumstance I find myself in and I am willing to help out around the home and for the human, too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I am taking a semester off at GW to find myself. I found pieces along the way, but I have yet to put them all together. For now, I am trying to get on my own two feet before (possibly) heading back to the academic factories. I hope to find new skills from new people and hope to share what I know and feel to all those willing and wanting.

Interests

I like to write, I like talking politics, I enjoy watching television and film, I hike both city and country, and, of course, who doesn't enjoy traveling.
