CURRENT MISSION

Vivi il momento! Live in the moment!

ABOUT ME

I would describe myself as a very open minded and curious person. It fascinates me to see new things, meet new people, and have new experiences. I desire to travel the world and learn not just about the histories and sights but also the people and the culture. I like to truly immerse myself in the different cultures of the world and forget for a time that I am American. I believe that staying in a resort and going to expensive restaurants ruins a travel experience and causes you to miss out on what is truly great about a place.

PHILOSOPHY

Recently I have adopted a new life philosophy from a quote that I came across. “Sometimes you just have to take the leap, and build your wings on the way down.” This inspirational quote has transformed into my personal philosophy. I try to live my life bravely and not let fear or anything else stand in the way of me living every moment to the fullest.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in the CS project by being open to being a tour guide to any person traveling through Atlanta. I do not have a couch to offer up but I can take you out for a night on the town and show you where are the good eats are. Atlanta is a great and diverse city and there is always a lot to see and experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have not had any couch surfing experiences. I am hoping to change that when I head to Italy in September. I am hoping to meet some great people and have lots of new experiences.

Interesses

Clearly travel is my main interest at the moment. But I am not just limited to international travel. I love to travel anywhere, anytime. Especially if it is some place new. I am also interested in scuba diving and backpacking. I just recently became Advanced Open Water certified and can’t wait to put that to use.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

My interest in music is vast and teasingly diverse. I enjoy everything from the popular music to blues, jazz, rock, and country. There are many genres I do not enjoy. I also like suspense movies and fictional books.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

One amazing thing that I have done in my lifetime is become involved in the TOMS One for One movement. As the leader of the TOMS Campus Club at my University I organized many events to promote the movement and help to give shoes to children in need.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

Some thing that I could contribute to the future CouchSurfing University is my knowledge of scuba diving and backpacking. Also simply sharing the culture and experiences of the U.S.
