About Me

Updated Last : Too long ago. ( I will do it soon)

I just live by the ABC's. Adventurous. Brave. Creative.

I am an intelligent and intuitive person in my life people know me as a respectful and a kind person.

I love traveling my favorite time was when I went to Central America . I was there doing human work projects such as building shelters, setting up clean water, and working at an orphanage. I also just traveled for fun.

In the last five years, I have had experience working on coffee plantations in Honduras and Guatemala, coffee roasting, brokering, and being a barista. I am working towards being Q-Grade and teaching my coffee classes, also own my own business.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am about to start traveling the world this year. I am starting by backpacking across Central America going where the wind takes me so I have no idea where I'll end up, however, I bet it will be a journey full of new friends, things that will inspire me, and an adventure.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all music!
I really like piano my favorite piece is Frédéric Chopin's "Raindrop" Prelude, Op 28, No. 15.

I have many movies/books the first thing that comes to mind is the secret Life of Walter Mitty.

I love the quote from the movie "To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel as I seen and done so many amazing things, that picking one is difficult. I find some of the most amazing things are small. I have built shelters and worked on various orphanages. Out of all that the thing I think is amazing is really so simple. Just to see the world, spend time with people, and really experiencing life. I love just helping out where I can really.

Teach, Learn, Share

This Quote I mention before. "To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life." It is kinda what I live my life by. It is really the meaning I take from it.

To see the world. first, with emphasis on the world - travel and experience new cultures - and, second, with emphasis on see. As Marcel Proust says, “Discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.”

Things dangerous to come to. With the exception of ignoring your survival instincts, things that excite and scare you at the same time are usually good things to try. Failure isn’t as bad or as permanent as our imaginations and the fear in our hearts makes it out to be.

To see behind walls. Be curious. Dig deeper. Notice things other people overlook. Question. Open doors.

To draw closer. Really soak things up. Embrace the world, instead of hiding from it.

To find each other. Recognize the oneness of all people and things, and feel at ease in this harmony. Help each other. Let people in.

To feel. Let the highs and the lows wash over and envelope you, realizing that both have their purpose, and neither are permanent.
In the end, this quote is just another stab at the age-old question about how we should spend our short stay on this planet. Does it satisfy the question for your life? If not, what is it missing? Food for thought.

I know you didn't ask for a breakdown but I got on a roll.
