Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Currently, I want to travel as much as possible as see as much as possible. Studying abroad has changed my perspective and made we want to see and experience as much as possible.
ABOUT ME
My friends would describe me as laid back, energetic, and open-minded I would hope.... I am big on meeting new people anywhere and everywhere and from different cultural backgrounds. I love people and choose to see the best in them. I am open to new experiences and believe traveling to be one of the most enrichening aspects of life.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is an echo. What I put into life and send out , I will receive. If I choose to be optimistic, I will be fulfilled and live joyfully. The same goes for people. What I see in others exists in myself. You reap what you sow.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting people and traveling. And I'm a broke college student :D
Interests
Anything active, outside and mind opening are life engaging to me. I spend my time downhill longboarding, surfing, roadtripping, and traveling by any means possible.
I could also just appreciate grabbing a beer with friends and meeting new people. One of my favorite past times is drinking beer around a bonfire on the beach.
One of my favorite other things to do is entering a city with no idea where I am and walking everywhere I can possibly go. I prefer to figure out things as go, and see where I end up.

Music, Movies, and Books
Well, most of my money goes to concerts so I can rant about music for a very long time.
I generally lean towards the indie/rock sound like Radiohead, Muse, Arcade Fire, The Head and The Heart, Local Natives, the Kooks, Fleet Foxes, The Drums, Arctic Monkeys, Grouplove, Grizzly Bear, Vampire Weekend and I can go on and on.
I can mess with Rage Against the Machine.
Acousic is chill as well. Grew up listening to Jack Johnson. I love Dispatch, The Lumineers, etc.
I can also appreciate some EDM like Dillon Francis, Deorro, Steve Aoki, and all those guys
Reggae is awesome! Love Steel Pulse (one of my favorite concerts), The Dirty Heads, Damian marley, Iration, The Expendables.
I also love the classics! Never get tired of Led Zeppelin, REd Hot Chili Pepers, and The Eagles.
Don't really watch TV all that much
Books, I love books on spirituality or classic literature.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In general, any time bomb a huge hill and make it down without accidents!
Driving along PCH in California along the coast of Big Sur. Big sur is my favorite place in the world, and the moments driving there continue to leave me awestruck.
I have been studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain the past two months, and I could account for my favorite places:
Visiting La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona this month. Most amazing structure I have seen in my life.
The Alcazar in Seville blows my mind everytime I visit.
The cathedral in Cordoba
