PHILOSOPHY

"Work like you don't need the money, love like you'Âve never been hurt, dance like no one is watching, and live everyday as if it were your last."

"Scars are just a proof of fun"

"When you travel a new silence goes with you, and if you listen, you will hear what your heart has to say" -John O' Donahue

"My life is endlessly fascinating, filled with learning, adventure, interesting people, new and enlightening experiences. I laugh, sing, and dance more than I ever have. I am becoming the person inside me."
-Rita Golden Gelman

"Positive and negative emotions cannot occupy the mind at the same time. One or the other must dominate. It is your responsibility to make sure that positive emotions constitute the dominating influence of your mind." Napoleon Hill

“Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Imagine that the world had no middlemen, no publishers, no bosses, no HR folks, no one telling you what you couldn’t do. If you lived in that world, what would you do? Go. Do that.” -Seth Godin excerpt from Poke the Box

“Don’t be on your deathbed someday, having squandered your one chance at life, full of regret because you pursued little distractions instead of big dreams.”€ -Derek Sivers excerpt from Anything You Want

“...intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into that universal current of life, where the histories of all people are connected, and we are able to know everything, because it’s all written there. Maktub.”€ -Paul Coelho excerpt from The Alchemist

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to share my travels and experiences with those around the world, while learning about their cultures and experiences at the same time. I think that traveling truly enriches your character and is medicine for the soul and I cannot wait to explore this world and share with others that feel the same!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had nothing but amazing experiences couchsurfing through Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, and Brazil and cannot wait to return the favor! I've been taken to places I would normally never had seen otherwise and are some of the legitimate highlights of my trip in Australia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flown over the Great Barrier Reef, skydived over Lake Taupo from 15,000 feet, bungee jumped in Queenstown, hand fed a monkey in Thailand, cruised around Venice in a gondola, inner tubed down a rooftop at Mt. Baker, married a Brazilian...the list goes on.. I'm pretty much up for anything!
