I have a very open mind when it comes to travel and living life to its fullest! Most of my friends think I'm crazy because of my willingness to do anything, go anywhere, and follow my desires day by day. There is not one thing you won't find me not ever trying. I am open to adventure of any kind anywhere in the world but it's also easy for me to just chill out in front of a sunset or catch up on my writing.
I am one to go off the beaten path to experience new people or places.
I am very much into Eco Tourism and am gearing my 2010 to 2013 travels towards this area of study.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy on life stands as this.
You can do anything you want in life as long as you have enough desire to want it. Conforming to mediocracy and society is in my opinion, the easy way out. The best way to live life is to look at is as though it is an ongoing project in which you are constantly changing and challenging yourself to your upmost expectations. Never say never, never say can't, take advantage of your younger years when you have the world at your fingertips and nothing to lose. Look to your future when you're 80 and think to yourself what you want to have accomplished up until then, what you want to be able to share with others in your life that you are proud of... and live for that.

I live for traveling and creating myself and my career, developing lifelong outstanding friends along the way and leaving with experiences I know no one else has. Life is all about exploration, passion, living life to the fullest, and risking everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am here to meet new people and discover new places through Couchsurfing. I will definitely offer my couch once I am back in the states, so if you're ever looking to go to California, hit me up in the future!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach. Follow your dreams and don't let other people try to live your life for you.
Learn. Try and learn something new every day. Life is a constant learning experience. Never take for granted the opportunities you have around you to learn new things. I still have so much to learn.
I want to share experiences, life and traveling with others. In the words of Alexander Supertramp, "happiness is only real when shared".
