CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm equal parts sarcastic and heartfelt, with a diverse number of interests (both academic and personal, but mostly overlapping) and a surfeit of unfulfilled desires. I currently live and play in the Twin Cities but I'm originally from a suburb of Detroit, MI. I first became interested in Couchsurfing after meeting a number of travelers while living in Belgrade, Serbia for four months in fall 2011 and becoming friends with another American who hosted a few surfers every week. I had an amazing time surfing in Montreal in summer 2012 and am excited to begin traveling again (though I'm sad I haven't had time for awhile). I also hope to host someday when I have more space!

PHILOSOPHY

"without illusions and without becoming disillusioned"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting Couchsurfers in Belgrade - great memories of shows at KC Grad, getting stuck in the freight elevator at BIGZ, and general rambunctious wanderings... long summer days in Montreal biking, eating, and appreciating new friends. Hope to do more soon!
