CURRENT MISSION

To experience as many different dimensions of the world as I can :)

ABOUT ME

I encourage you to take a leap of faith and find out for yourself. After all, that's what couchsurfing is all about. Although, if you must know, the general consensus is that I'm crazy (in a good way)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is crazy and unpredictable. And yet, it really is all we have. Sometimes it hurts, but that’s just how it is. There’s no escaping it. We’ve just got to keep moving and remind ourselves of the fact that nothing is ever that bad. You’re alive, right? There’s a bright side to everything, sometimes you just need to delve a bit deeper to find it. We need to enjoy life for what it is-the most intense roller coaster ride you’ll ever experience.

That being said, find something you love and do it, do it, do it. Surround yourself with people you love. Learn to love yourself. Realize your dreams. Don’t ever let practicality weigh you down and prevent you from doing so. Scream. Laugh. Love. Cry. Let it out. Live in the moment. Be crazy. Act on impulses. Celebrate spontaneity. Jump into forbidden pools. Travel far and wide. Step out your box. Appreciate the unparalleled beauty of the world we live in and be grateful you’re part of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by presenting the beautiful city of Seattle to its visitors and offering them a place to say. And of course, I try and surf other people's couches whenever I leave my own turf.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Attending Sasquatch Music Festival 2010

Teach, Learn, Share

"The only people for me are the made ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace things, but burn, burn burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the starts..
-Jack Kerouac
"In life, you will realize there is role for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you, some will love you, and some will teach you. But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you. They are the rare and amazing people who remind you why it’s worth it.”-unknown
"Come to the edge, he said.
They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, he said. They came.
He pushed them and they flew.” - Apollinaire

"Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free til they find someone just as wild to run with them."

"Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air..."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Be who you are and say what you want because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
-Dr. Seuss
