CURRENT MISSION

To experience life in new ways, learn new things, see new places, meet new people...live for today and for tomorrow.

ABOUT ME

Happy 2010! I was able to Couchsurf only once in my 5 week long trip in Europe. I did the hostel thing the rest of the time, and it was pretty fun =] I'll be going to Trujillo, Honduras in late May to work at a hostel there. After that, I want to travel more, and Couchsurf more, and keep having great experiences around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in Karma and that everything happens for a reason. I love the Tao te Ching. I don't really believe in an organized religion, I just want to be happy, be a good person, do the right thing, and live life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i tell people about the site and community, and my good experience. i want to surf more and eventually host one day.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in rural, southern Honduras the summer of 2005, which was amazing! I lived with a family in a small town doing community service and culture exchange. I was fluent in Spanish when I returned, and have not had the same immersion experience since then. It was an absolutely amazing experience that I will never be able to forget or recreate.

Teach, Learn, Share

academically i'm most interested in languages, social science, history and earth science. a few years ago i took a geology and geography class together and it changed my life! finally, something to learn in school that i was interested in and could see in my own surroundings! i'm currently in culinary school to learn a few skills to get a fun job.
