Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
You only live once and that 'once' for me happens to be right now. Take the world on... one country at a time!
ABOUT ME
After graduating from University, I enrolled in Dan's College of Travels for some real hands-on experience. I've packed my bag, left my worries behind, and am now traveling around the world getting the best education there is.
I have met tons of people traveling and some have become great friends. The beauty of it all is that you meet like-minded individuals who share world views and stories that are fascinating to any avid traveller. With that being said, I (personally) am a very outgoing, open-minded, enthusiastic, and motivated individual who forgot to pack an itinerary. The world is my favourite museum - I could spend years exploring every detail of it.
PHILOSOPHY
I think this changes after every country that I visit because of the different people I meet. For now, I would believe that living for 'today' is the most important thing I can do. To truly open your mind to the world is to allow yourself to forget your personal worries and explore the globe with a smile on your face. Why not, right?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
This is the prime opportunity to meet new people and truly get exposed to a new side of the world. With couchsurfing, I get a much more personal experience with the places I visit. Every person in the world is capable of teaching you something new and through this process I can manage to discover new things about myself and my abilities from the many people who open their couches to me.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I would say that I have yet to see the many benefits that CS provides, however the people who I have personally surfed with and even hosted have shown me the possibilities of what it can be.
I respect each and every person who is willing to offer their couch to travellers.

Teach, Learn, Share
As previously mentioned, travelling is the best form of education because not only do you get to play all the roles. You can learn so much and teach in return. To share your home with other travelers is an open invite for a new branch of studies in this College of Travels.
