About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel to all the continents before I graduate college (done!)
To make a social impact wherever I travel

ABOUT ME

I am a wanderlust soul that relishes in the unknown.

PHILOSOPHY

I personally live the philosophy of "you don't know till you try." Then when you find out can you really have an opinion on it. I also believe that failure is when you don't try at all not necessarily when you try and don't achieve what you initially had hoped. Success is just as much learning from your mistakes as getting it on the first shot.

Life is honestly too short to be lived doing the same things over and over.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was recommended to couchsurfing by a fellow traveler who said "couchsurfing is the only way I travel now." After a 4 hour conversation with her in a dingy hostel in Iguazu Falls at 3AM, I said "why not?"

Interests

Besides school, I travel around the world on a mission to live as if tomorrow was my last day-because tomorrow is someone's last day.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies-Dirty Dancing, 21 Jump Street, Eternal Sunshine on a Spotless Mind, Coyote Ugly, The Notebook, Bridesmaid,

Books-Outliers, Blink and Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. Little Bee, The Namesake,

I listen to mostly any type of music except heavy metal . Though the genres I sing in the shower with are country music and r&b.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far I have trekked through 45 countries where I've had the opportunity to shark dive in South Africa, sleep under the stars by the beach in Koh Samui, Thailand, ride elephants in Chiang Mai, Thailand, wander through Cuzco and sit at the edge of the seat while cruising down from Macchu Pichu, have been humbled by how the other side lives in Guatemala, India and some parts of Southeast Asia, the process of a revolution in Ukraine, seen the model societies in Norway, and Germany. I'll leave the rest and the details for when we meet in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English, fashion, give great advice, economics, business, professionalism, leadership, teamwork, international affairs.

Learn-so so much to learn. I would love to learn about music, writing, languages, cultures, languages, how to cook,
