CURRENT MISSION

Positive. Supportive. Strong.

ABOUT ME

easygoing, positive, always willing to listen to others around me, enjoy those moments when you meet people and you can connect to them even though they've lived completely different life experiences

Traveling has really shown me just how interesting our world is, part of me wants to spend my whole life learning and engaging people from all around the world because its opened my mind to so much more than I could ever imagine!

PHILOSOPHY

"In my opinion, the ability to love another person is one of God's greatest gifts, and I thank God every day for enabling me to give and share love with the people in my life." - Anderson Cooper

"Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher." - Oprah

"Non-violence is not inaction. It is not discussion. It is not for the timid or weak...Non-violence is hard work. It is the willingness to sacrifice. It is the patience to win."- Cesar Chavez

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a much more engaging way of learning about a place than staying in a hostel or traveling alone. There is something special about meeting people who can give you insider information to a place and its best features and sites.

A place is not just defined by the momuments and the historical value it adds to the world, but also by its people. Even after time passes, you always remember the feeling of being somewhere with people that made you smile or enjoy what can sometimes feel like completely random moments!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Accept that we only live one life and recognize that living in the moment can be extremely gratifying especially when you are traveling and meeting new people!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know if I have any talents to share on CouchSurfing. More than happy to offer advice and support to travelers. My specialities include positive attitude and listening when people need someone to talk to!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a good time! Always willing to engage in conversation or just hang out! Sometimes the most fun moments have been walking around, grabbing a couple drinks, and getting a feel for the way you live your life!
