CURRENT MISSION

Spread love.

I consider myself a free spirit, calling home wherever my heart is at the moment. I like to smile and to make people smile, and to spread positive energy wherever I go. My energy comes from the energy of others, though I do enjoy my solitude. I'm a dreamer, but I also believe that nothing in life is impossible and that our thoughts are the most powerful tool that we have to create our own reality. I think that there is a lot of good in the world, and I'm willing to find it and contribute to it.

In a nutshell, I am young and free [that's a state of mind, not a demographic].

ABOUT ME

At the end of this life, I want to be able to say two things:
1) I lived my life to the fullest, seizing every opportunity to experience the world as it is and indulge in it's perfection and...
2) I helped those around me do the same.

PHILOSOPHY

The only task we have in this lifetime is to spread love to every living thing. The Universe and all it's energy is perfect, and as we continue to release positive energy, it will continue to come back to us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently just had my first couchsurfing experience in Taipei, Taiwan where I was able to stay at a girls shelter outside of the city. It was a great experience and it really had me questioning why I hadn't joined the CS movement earlier. Needless to say, I'm excited about the many amazing people I have yet to meet and the cool places I will see in the future through CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just recently, I hiked to the summit of Mt. Fuji in time to watch the sunrise. It was an amazing experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always into swapping travel stories and learning about what makes a person who they are...perspective is everything and perspective is gained/changed/altered through experience. I can also cook something up if the opportunity presents itself!
