CURRENT MISSION

Giving back for all that I have received. :-)

ABOUT ME

I am a fun, loving, caring and outgoing person that enjoys sharing the beauty of life with others. I strongly believe that it is important to live out your dreams, because "where there's a will, there's a way. Nothing is impossible to a willing mind."

I'm generally always smiling and love to laugh (if you ask any of my friends). I have a passion for learning new things and striving to make new strides each day. I believe we are all here for a purpose and obstacles help make us stronger. I love the arts: music, dance, poetry, gymnastics, martial arts, etc. And love learning new things.

I aim to live, laugh, love, and let be loved. What you put out into the world, is what you will find you receive in return.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

"Live, laugh, love, and let be loved."

"Success is attained by those that aim to achieve it."

"Where there's a will there's a way, nothing is impossible to a willing mind."

"Is the glass half empty or half full? Your perception becomes your reality. Think about it."

"Having a rough morning? Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? Thats called purpose. Your alive for a reason. Don't give up!"

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to participate by attending couch surfing events and showing people around NY or Boston, which are the two areas I currently reside in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have heard great things about couch surfing from many of my friends. I have not exactly couch surfed or hosted any couch surfers, but I have attended a few couch surfing outings. I have met some pretty amazing people through those outings who are fun, exciting, and have a passion for learning about others lives and cultures. It has been great engaging with them, because its great to meet new adventurous people who are on the same wavelength as you!

Interests

I love to dance, study martial arts, read books on psychology and the mind. I have quite often been told that I have a knack for public speaking and acting. I also aspire to learn how to design fashion sketches and practice doing those things in my spare time. I also use to play the piano and do gymnastics, both of which I try to practice from time to time just so that I do not completely lose my (small) skills haha!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I have done in my lifetime is taking this current trip to South Africa. I have met some amazing people and continue to learn new things about myself each day. I would not trade this experience for anything! I feel like this experience will help in my future growth and development in fulfilling my purpose in life and in my career field.

Teach, Learn, Share

Things that I was taught, learned, and would like to share with others:

- Always meet in public places.
- Be cautious with traveling alone.
- Be safe and think through decisions before you act on them.
- Try not to travel/go out alone late at night.
- Be smart with the decisions you make, but dont live your life inside a box afraid to do anything; because you can always find danger in any and everything.
