Full-time student and traveler. I study International Affairs with a double major in Communications online.

Right now you can find me traveling within the UK with my friend Yudi. Yudi and I grew up together in Nebraska. We consider one another to be like family. Now that we have experiences traveling to different areas of the world, we would like to continue our journeys and expand our horizons.

Yudi’s Profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/yudi-hernandez-2

I like to think that you can know a lot about another person with how you choose to manage your reactions to their actions. What is understanding, if not a total drive of perception? With that I choose to keep an open mind to further get to know myself.

After so much traveling and opening my eyes to what the world has to offer, answering the question 'what makes you happy?' has eased up a bit. I have come to the realization that the connections and the synchronizations we form with those and that around us form a chain of indescribable beauty creating what we call life. This is the happiness I look for; a fulfilled life full of interaction sustaining art, pleasure, and knowledge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a nomadic backpacker looking to have a local experience! Looking forward to meeting new people and sharing different cultures and ideas.

Interests

You can usually find me reading or writing as a sort of creative outlet. Being in tune with nature is important when trying to get in tune with yourself. I keep many photographs of the world around me, mostly to appreciate the beauty in the now. The environment surrounding you and the people you interact with teaches substantial life values to move forward as a wanderer.
