Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Haven't used CS in years so I'm trying to get back into it!
ABOUT ME
Activist at heart. My life goal is to try to leave this world a better than when I first came into it by helping as many people that I can.
PHILOSOPHY
Every new person you meet is bound to know a handful of things you don't know or understand. I always travel with this philosophy in mind, as I enjoy learning about how other people look at this world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Had an incredible experience with CS a couple of years ago, therefore I'm trying to pay it forward by hosting more and helping couchsurfers with their travels to NorCal.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Got hosted by various people 4 summers ago when I hitchhiked from Orange County to New Orleans. This was one of my most life-changing experiences that heavily influenced my perspective on life.

Teach, Learn, Share
As an avid backpacker, the biggest lesson I've learned is to never underestimate your trip. Anything can go wrong at any given moment, regardless of how prepared you think you are.
