CURRENT MISSION

To be understanding, accepting, and loving of all people.

ABOUT ME

I am only 18 but have traveled the world. I spent most of my life in Uzbekistan as my father was a humanitarian aid doctor there. I love reading and learning about everything. I am very eager to engage in your culture and learn about you and what you love. Next year I am going to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. I decided to take this year off of school to travel and serve.

PHILOSOPHY

This life is short, I hope to leave my mark by leaving no regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am going to be a couch surfer for life. When I have a home of my own one day, my couch will be available to you whenever you are wherever I am.

I'm a rookie. Hopefully one day I will be able to recount some crazy couch surfing experiences of my own.
