About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make Backpacking a career!

ABOUT ME

I am a young individual, one year out of High School, and I have no idea what career, or what I want to do when I am older. But one thing I must do is travel! I caught the traveling bug when I, (immediately upon graduating) Left Victoria to drive down the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California with my best friend. We also went into Mexico for a day which was amazing. After that I spent a year at home working and saving my money to leave Victoria and explore.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is that we are all human, and we don't know anything about why we are here, or who created us but one thing we are sure of is that we will one day die. I remember that whenever I am about to take a risk, or if I feel shy meeting new people, everyone has nothing to lose because one day we won't be here anymore! I focus on living life to the fullest and to love all humans beings because we all have to share this finite world together, and we are losing site of what is important, and that is we are ruining our home for future generations. Humans biggest and best creation is human life....and I personally want a world secure in its most valuable resources for my children to live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a surfer at heart, my goal is to meet new people from other countries and make friends! I believe to truly explore a country you must get to know the people, and what better way then couch surfing! I am looking forward to one day opening my couch also when I have my own place, wherever I chose to live.

Interests

I am very interested in Photography, it is my passion! I am looking forward to boosting my portfolio while I am in Europe!! I am very into reading also, fiction & non-fiction. I am ultimately interested in socializing and meeting new people! And I hope to do that as much as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now in fiction I am a huge fan of the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin. It is a fantastic series and the show on HBO, I am content to say does it justice! In non-fiction I recently read The Game by Neil Strauss which is a super good read and eye-opening when it comes to women and mans number one priority. I am currently reading The Celestine Prophecy, which is a fiction book about a mans adventures into his spirituality. I highly recommend this book, it will change your life and the way you look at things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen plenty of Flash Mobs before on youtube, but experiencing one in person is a treat! It was in a main square of Amsterdam when at least 70-90 people all started synchronized dancing and singing! I wished I had filmed it, it was magical but the pot cookies probably helped with that as well.
