CURRENT MISSION

Living on purpose

ABOUT ME

I'm a 24 year old optometry student with an ultimate goal of living on purpose. I am constantly amazed by how we have the opportunity to live every day of our lives intentionally. I would say I'm a little bit of every personality. Overall easy going and fun to be around!

Disclaimer: I'm SUPER gullible...feel free to take advantage of that (or not). Example: I was sent the April fools Google smelling app. I tried pressing my nose against the phone to smell "baby powder" and nothing happened so I thought trying "brownie" would work. Still disappointed that it did not work. When a smelling app actually does get invented I will obviously be the first one to test it out.

PHILOSOPHY

"You leak what you love"
"Passion is caught, not taught"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only been able to surf due to shared living situations but I can't wait to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only surfed so far in the US. I was hosted by some of the most selfless and genuine people I've ever met on a road trip last summer. The best part is receiving love from people you've never met. Wild thought and even more wild when it's put into action. Life as it should be.

Interests

Plant based food stuff (been testing this out and it's been reall cool. I now consistently eat things I never knew existed...like rainbow chard!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Got pulled on stage with Michael Franti & Spearhead at the Hangout Festival, was handed a guitar (I have no idea how to play guitar), and broke a string. Oops!
-Scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef with giantly insane looking rainbow fish
-Hiked part of the Great Wall of China (who knew the great WALL was vertical? Probably everyone but myself. I thought I was going for a nice stroll along a wall and showed up to a mountain climb of stairs. Feel the burn.)
-Kayaked literally next to a pod of 6 whales off the coast of Washington
-2x bungy jumping
-3x skydiving

All of that is cool stuff, but honestly I think the most amazing thing I've experienced is people leaving their home open to host me on CS when they aren't even there. The first time it happened I thought I was getting punk'd. Contagious trust.
