CURRENT MISSION

To live my one life the right way

ABOUT ME

I don't like talking about myself... But considering I'm new to this whole thing and I don't have many reviews of other people vouching for me, I guess I'll have to give it a shot ;)

I think I'm a blast, but I'm not your typical party person. I don't like noise, loud music, flashy bright lights, or big chaotic crowds. What's made an impact on me are the conversations one on one and in a small group. I'd rather make friends by doing life with people than meeting up for coffee. I want to go on adventures and see what it is that produces sparks in others. I like to go deep, not just hang out on the surface and never experience who the people around me really are.

I love laughing, and living to the fullest. I'd rather spend the bulk of my time and money pursuing experience and great memories, rather than the biggest greatest newest thing out there (that will not even be cool anymore after six months).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A happy face, encouragement, friendship, a listening ear, an interest in your life, a desire to see what you find wonderful (whether that's your kids, your wedding album, the sushi down the road, your craziest story, or the Christmas ornament you made in kindergarten ;)

I believe in leaving a place better than I found it, so if you host me, I will do my best not to leave a trace of me anywhere but your memory :)
