CURRENT MISSION

Finding happiness at home while knowing that all you want to do is travel

ABOUT ME

I love traveling as I suppose we all do in here. It's often a great dilemma between revisiting old familiar places and going on new adventures.

I don't care about following norms, but I don't make a big effort to be different either.

PHILOSOPHY

Differences make life colourful. We should all be able to be who we truly are and do the things that make us happy without anyone feeling like they are qualified to judge us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have been on the surfing end and have been so grateful for the wonderful people who have made me feel at home around the world and have taught me about their special patch on this fine planet of ours.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

MondoTondo was the perfect virgin couchsurfing experience for me and my friend Lena. We even helped him break his record of surfers in one night - 7!

Interests

I am a mash up of sketchy interests and trades: a vegetarian and a CHAI connoisseur who loves linedance, hippos, feel-good movies, the occasional piercing and tattoo, theatre, books that I don't read, my guitar that I don't play, languages that I don't speak, and travels that I have yet to do.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big movie geek. I contribute it to working at a video store after finishing high school to finance my traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It still gives me chills thinking about the wild grizzly bears we saw in Yellowstone on our road trip from Chicago to Portland. It was my one big unlikely wish...but then suddenly there they were...hanging out and being free...
