Once I finished high school at age 18, I decided to leave the education system, work, and travel. I have worked as a lifeguard during the Summer and Spring seasons of San Diego, my hometown. During the winters after leaving school, I traveled to countries in Asia, Europe, and to Australia. Over the course of these years I have learned how to scuba dive, abseil, self-organize travel, adapt new cultures, and enjoy the challenges that all of these have provided.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had the chance to travel to many countries and like the opportunity to see different perspectives. Being able to stay with local people is always a big advantage as well. It will allow me to see different angles of the same place, from the eyes of someone who knows the area, and from my own fresh view.
