CURRENT MISSION

To experience and learn from people, and cultures, from all over the world. To promote understanding and acceptance between people with different belief systems.

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventurous, outgoing, openminded and fun 27 year old that loves to meet people and learn new things. I really enjoy traveling because it opens your ideas to infinite number of amazing things that exist in this world. I believe traveling can help make people more responsible global citizen and make all of us appreciate the similarities that humans share, and makes us more understanding of our individual differences. In my opinion each culture and/or country has things that is does incredibly well, while at the same time has things that can be improved upon. So exploring the world allows all of us to experience and better understand the positives and negatives of the places we have been, currently are, and will be in the future.

PHILOSOPHY

Each new day that we get to wake up in this beautiful world and explore it's magnificence is a blessing.

I try my best to enter any new experience with an open mind.

Things can always get better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am participating as a traveler looking to meet new people that have an inside perspective of the places I visit. However when I finish my upcoming trip and have my own more permanent residence, I would love to be able to open up my home to other travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to Couchsurfing. I currently haven't had the opportunity to have a "Couchsurfing Experience." However as a former college student I do have plenty of experience sleeping on couches.

I really enjoy any artist that puts on a good live performance.

One of the most amazing things I've had the opportunity to do is serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Panamá.
