About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To utilize my free time to travel

ABOUT ME

Recently graduated from UCSB, now I am living in Copenhagen for a while until I start training to become a pilot. I want to enjoy my remaining free time as much as I can, making sure to travel Europe and experience Copenhagen.

I grew up moving around a lot, especially in high school where I lived in three different countries. But I can never get tired of traveling so hopefully this site will make it easier to do so.

PHILOSOPHY

"Respect earned is respect given". I really try to follow that motto and know that by being nice to other you are likely to receive the same attitude. Besides drama belongs on TV not my daily life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I actually had always heard my friends talking about couch surfing but never really used it up until now. I am really open to fellow travelers if they need to find a place to crash. I have traveled often and know it's nice to meet helpful and friendly people to enhance your traveling experience.

Interests

Some things that I like doing are scuba diving, surfing, playing rugby, trying new delicious foods, and picking up on the local language slowly but surely. I am down for just about anything as long as it doesn't involve spiders, they are scary creatures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like just a little bit of everything in terms of music. Ranging from Stravinsky to Justice to Muse, I tend to stay away from hip-hop and country but both genres have their gems.

Movies I could list many (I watch quite a few movies since my friends are film majors) some of my favorite are Dr. Zhivago, Topgun, Interstellar 5555, Band of Brothers, and so on.

I definitely don't get nearly enough time to sit down and read books I choose, but my classes allow me to expand my literature appreciation all the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to a rave with 40,000 people all dressed in white in Wroclaw, Poland and dancing until sunrise. It was one of the most amazing nights ever and the music was great. Can't say I go to clubs very often but it was amazing.

Countries I’ve Visited

Ireland, Maldives, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore

Countries I’ve Lived In

Denmark, India, Italy, Spain, United States, Venezuela
