CURRENT MISSION

To take time for myself by traveling and experiencing new places, people, and culture.

ABOUT ME

I have decided to take a year off and to go traveling. I decided to see and learn as much as I could within this year about other countries and cultures. Making money and having possessions should not be what life is about and hopefully I will learn more about myself in the process.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to try to be the best person I can be...to pursue the important things in life thru experiences...making friends...and of course learning from my mistakes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just been recently introduced to cs...I know it will be a great experience and will definately pay it forward.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently signed up for couchsurfing. I met a couchsurfer and he told me what an amazing experience he has had with the people he has stayed with and the many friends he has met along the way.

Interests

Of course I love traveling...but I like being on the water, being active, and having a good time.

• culture
• traveling
• hiking
• rock climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

Okay...I love Bridget Jones Diary and Love Actually..but I love good movies such as Blood Diamond, The Lives of Others, and Good Will Hunting.

Books: I love books that motivate people. A book that I couldn't put down was Game Change.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing that I have seen has been Drakenberg in Africa. I went hiking up the mountain with a group of people. I had actually plan to go on a culture tour but it was cancelled that morning. It was raining and cold...absolutely miserable weather! As we were climbing all we could see were clouds...disappointing...then within minutes the clouds parted and the most amazing landscape was in front of me. Breathtaking...amazing...beautiful!

Teach, Learn, Share

Being new to cs I hope to learn more about different cultures but in turn finding common ground. I like touring different countries but I believe that cs will allow me to see different countries from a different perspective...thru my host's insights and info.
