CURRENT MISSION

Immersing myself in the Eastern culture to better understand the people I share this planet with. My goal in life is become a photojournalist for a prestigious organization.

ABOUT ME

I flourish when I am with people. Socially adept but I enjoy my solitude. I am currently living in San Francisco and my heart is telling me to seek adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My attempt to reach out and put my trust back into the our beautiful world and take a chance online to meet the locals of all the various and unique cities along my journey. I believe in the magic of human connection; a simple handshake or a hug can make a person's day.

Interests

Photography is a way to document and share significant moments of humanity. Also a nice way to take you back to the past in a single glance. I'm also interested in hiking, yoga, surfing, and rock climbing. Also I love trying all the different and exotic foods around the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

sometimes I am wrapped up in my own thoughts. The daily monotony of my life. It is important to connect with the world. Perhaps I am trying to escape from myself (a fruitless endeavor, I know). Or maybe I put myself through these trials in order to understand the my meaning of life. If there is one, I'd like to chose the definition, or even let it chose me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Perhaps a bottle of wine or a glass of bourbon. Fun conversation or a contemplative silence. We can watch a movie together or go to your favorite restaurants and parks. I can offer my friendship, if you need help with anything I wouldn't hesitate. I enjoy cooking as well. I make a delicious Penne al la vodka.
