CURRENT MISSION

Finish explaining my life and personality in an online profile

ABOUT ME

It started when I had the ridiculously good luck to study in Barcelona for a semester, which, as you all know, involves not quite so much studying. My semester there introduced me to the world of couchsurfing. I really dislike describing myself but for the sake of couchsurfing and for not coming across as a creeper with an empty profile, I'll give it a shot. I love trying new things and am always up for new experiences. I usually love meeting new people and I like to think of myself as friendly and approachable. I love exploring new places, hiking, camping, reading, eating, attempting to cook, Ultimate Frisbee, and spending money on experiences.

Now, I want to try to make traveling as much a part of my life as eating a good meal--not overindulgent, but definitely something that happens regularly.

PHILOSOPHY

No regrets
Friendships are forever

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couchsurfed a few times in the past and once I find a more permanent living situation in Seattle, should be able to open my couch up.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just had a great experience couchsurfing, my friend Kim set us up with Andres in Geneva. He was so welcoming, inviting us to a party the night we arrived, and letting four of us cram into his room when he only expected two people. His kindness really astounded me.
