CURRENT MISSION

to travel through Europe on a college student budget

ABOUT ME

I've had wanderlust for as long as I can remember but I always made excuses as to why I couldn't go and see the world. Now I have finally stopped making excuses and am traveling with my best friend across Europe. My dream is to travel the world and experience new people, new cultures, and new ideas. This trip has allowed me to live my dream every day.

PHILOSOPHY

Life isn't something I want to waste. I feel no need to live like the Smiths in a cookie cutter house with a job that I kind of like. I'm only going to do something I love doing. Otherwise, it isn't worth it. Right now my passion is traveling and sharing new experiences with new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have had great experiences cooking and doing household work for my hosts. If there's anything you need help with just let me know and I will be there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only just begun my couch surfing experience but so far it has been amazing. My friend and I stayed for a week in Kaiserslautern, Germany. We met a lot of great people that were deeply involved in the CS groups there. We cooked, explored, partied, danced, and went to Pub Quiz Night.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently My friend and I hitch-hiked through Germany. It was an incredible experience that helped to solidify my belief in the true kindness of people. This, of course, carries over to the Couch Surfing Organization which provides, in a way, the same benefits of hitch hiking.
