CURRENT MISSION

Learn from the world what I could never learn in a classroom

ABOUT ME

Hello!

When I get the chance to travel, I enjoy taking the time to relax and imagine my life in whatever new place I'm in. Tourism is great, but I love the simple things and I'm more likely to be found sitting in a park than waiting in line to see the city's most popular attraction.

I like being challenged, learning new things, live music, meeting interesting and passionate people and sharing my story with others.

I look forward to meeting you, if our paths are lucky enough to cross. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes the adventure starts with an irrational decision.

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!" - Randy Pausch

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed once in a town outside of Venice, Italy. It was an amazing experience and truly opened my eyes as to how great this community can be. I can't wait to do it again, and host as soon I get my own space! Aside from that I've also met up with people in Spain for language exchanges and I'm constantly checking the site to see if there is a cool CS event going on near me. Amazing people here. I love it! :)
