About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish college then spend a year learning, growing and developing traveling Central and Southeast Asia

ABOUT ME

I enjoy being around people, especially family, friends and kids. Children always remind me of the absolute desire within each of us for love, and they give it freely! I spent 3 weeks in Haiti over the past year and its definitely a place i plan on spending much time in the future. I come from a large family, I'm the 3rd of eight kids. I love meeting people and sharing culture and traditions as well as exploring ways we can impact our world for the better.

PHILOSOPHY

Life has no limit, if your not afraid to get in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am completely new to this whole system, have had several friends tell me all the benefits and now what to experience them for myself. I want to share my place whenever I can and stay with people who can give me a glimpse of their daily lives.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Limited as of now, but hopefully can change this in the near future!
