CURRENT MISSION

See the world, spread joy, make friends, relax.

ABOUT ME

I am energetic and enthusiastic. I act in plays, write poetry, love talking and making people laugh, and I even sing in a pirate acapella group. I used to attend a United World College international high school, where I met people from 90 different countries. It was an amazing experience, and made me want to learn even more about all the different people and cultures of the world. But I think we are all individuals first. I am open-minded and eager to learn. And very humble. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that the world is a fundamentally good place and most people are fundamentally good as well. My goal is to prove it, to myself and the people around me.
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm very new to couchsurfing. I joined because I am currently backpacking around Europe, and trying to see as many places as possible without breaking my bank account. But I am really eager to get as much out of it as possible--once I get home I am excited to host people and make new friends that way as well. I've also been an unofficial couchsurfer/host for years.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing yet! I've hosted friends at my house, and I have been staying with friends and acquaintances on my trip so far, and it's been really great getting to know them and fitting into their lives for a little while.
