About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living life one day at a time.

ABOUT ME

Well as most people on this site I love to travel and I like learning about different cultures. When traveling I like to learn about the places I am going to.

Since I am an architecture major, I like to go to see all kinds of buildings. I'm a culture nerd, but I like to have fun too!

PHILOSOPHY

See the best in people. Treat everyone with respect. Be positive!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couch surfed through southern France, but still haven't had the chance to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

May through June 2008 I traveled through southern France and stayed with five different couch surfers (Nice, Avignon, Antibes, Nice, Marseille), all great experiences!

I've never hosted, but in weekends I could probably show people around in NYC.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 1991 I spent a weekend in the tinniest beach village in Mexico for one of last total solar eclipse of the millennium. It was my family and I, and so many scientists from NASA and National Geographic and people like that. I was only 4 years old and I remember it pretty well!

In high school I spent a year abroad in France. It wasn't at all what I expected but it was a life changing trip. We can talk about it later if you'd like.
