I'm very easy going and get along with almost everyone. I keep and open mind and very optimistic.

Traveling is a big goal in life for me before i settle down. Always been a dreamer and now i can say the dreams are starting to come true.

Grew up in an island in the pacific and lived by the beach, I started swimming when i was four years old and my first job after high school was a life guard. I live a very active lifestyle yet my artistic side keeps me up late. Love being by the ocean and diving to see the beautiful life under water, It's like a whole other world.

I'm very involved in philanthropy, I'm a big for the Big brother Big sister of greater Los Angeles and i volunteer at a hospital in DTLA.

Surfing is my meditation and the gym is where i get my motivation.

But really i'm a big nerd and love to read and always love learning something new, yet i have no fear on getting out of my comfort zone and put into a place totally unknown or new.

I've had many up's and down's, and its what keeps me from never giving up on anything i want to achieve.

Rather have experiences than possessions

Time is priceless so spend it wisely :)

PHILOSOPHY

"If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life."
"We travel not to escape life, But for life not to escape us."

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore, Dream, Discover."

"You can't stop the waves, But you can Learn to surf." ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the world! Starting with the different countries and experience the cultures with the people who live there. It gives me the opportunity to meet a variety of awesome people and learn a new language. Hang out with the locals, and get away from the tourists spots. Take the path less taken....
