CURRENT MISSION Do what I came here to do ABOUT ME I've always been attracted towards the things in life that are a bit more unconventional and that's probably what led me here. Traveling and meeting people from all over the world has probably been the most enriching and memorable experience of my life and I'd like it to continue. About my self personally, I'm generally quite a relaxed and open person. I don't enjoy being too serious, I believe a good sense of humor is the cornerstone of a personality. Besides that, I am an International Studies student. So that means I have opinions and I share them frequently. I am almost done, which is exciting. When I'm finished I will probably go to grad school and get a Master's in Journalism. I really see it as the perfect fit for me as it combines everything I've ever loved: Traveling, writing, getting angry about stuff, politics and foreign cultures. PHILOSOPHY "A rolling stone gathers no moss" "Forget most, remember some, but don't turn none away"

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING So far I've only surfed and it was amazing. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Two-thumbs up
Music, Movies, and Books
Musically I would say I am open to anything. I always like to hear new sounds from all over the world or from right around the corner. Movies...I'm kind of a bit of a film nerd, I love Wes Anderson movies (The Royal Tenenbaums and Darjeeling Limited especially). Books, my top three would be For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemmingway, War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy and The Journey To The East by Herman Hesse.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Current life highlight: The Mongol Rally 2012. Started in Helsinki, Finland and drove across the Middle East, through Central Asia and into Russia towards the final destination in Mongolia.
My Interests
This is a far reaching topic. I am quite open to new things, so who knows what I could be interested in or will be. Currently my main interests revolve around skiing, traveling, going to concerts from time to time and like everyone, a night on the town does me wonders.
