PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest! Dance like no one is watching.

Stay hungry, stay curious. Take risks. Try new things. Meet new people. Love. Learn.

Success to me is how many people are better off because I have lived.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I moved to Austin at the beginning of February 2014. During this transition period some fellow surfers helped me out as I locked down my living situation and I hosted some others along the way. Sadly I just realized that I haven’t used this much in the last few years. I am currently six months in to a year of travel and want to change that, getting a glimpse of local culture and connecting with incredible people in this community!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Couchsurfed in the US in 2014. Hosted several couchsurfers in 2015-2016. Surfed with some great hosts in Argentina and Czech Republic over the past few years. Shamefully realized I haven’t connected with this community despite traveling South America and Southeast Asia over the last 8 months. I really prefer sharing cultural customs, foods, and experiences with locals so really want to Couchsurf as much as possible for May-July 2019.

Interests

Traveling. Staying active. Outdoors. Hiking. Relationship-building. Learning. Serving others. Entrepreneurship. New experiences. Stepping out of my comfort zone.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all types of music, I find the music I prefer at any particular time is mood dependent, which is a good thing now that I'm located in the Music Captial of the World. I enjoy reading personal development books and anything that challenges me to grow or see things in a different perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently: Spending New Year’s Day playing football with 25 children in the small Laos village of Muang Ngoi Neua, a habit that continued daily for two weeks!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A friendly smile, different types of cuisine, travel experiences, English, 🕺🏻 and fun times.

Argentina, Austria, Bolivia, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, England, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, Italy, Laos, Mexico, Nepal, Peru, Philippines, Spain, Thailand, Viet Nam
