About Me

That's me dancing with my mom at my cousin's wedding.

I'm an aspiring entrepreneur who loves BIG ideas and BIG personalities. I love hearing about people's experiences and lifestyles. I like to laugh, walk, hike, ride bikes, rock climb. I LOVE traveling and listening to and talking about music.

Personal Philosophy:

If you give yourself up to the world and pursue the things that make you happy then the world will find a way to take care of you.

It's something I'm working on personally. One of those things that's easier said than done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet some new people and make a network of friends all over the world.

I am coming to terms with the fact that money isn't the most important thing in the world. I spent a lot of time and energy getting to a point where I could make a lot of money and have come to realize that is not what makes me happy. It's connecting with people with different backgrounds and learning more about them and ultimately myself. That to me is the ultimate happiness.

Interests

People - Family, Friends, Strangers. I love to chat. I love to get to know people and dig deep on what makes them tick.

Travel - Everywhere. I love new places and new things and new experiences.

“A man of ordinary talent will always be ordinary, whether he travels or not; but a man of superior talent will go to pieces if he remains forever in the same place” – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
