About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To never stop exploring :-)

ABOUT ME

I am an inquisitive, fun person who loves trying new things. I love art and nature and people, my trifecta. I love anything outdoors (hiking, backpacking, climbing). I also love sports like soccer, volleyball, and archery. I like poetry and art and I consider myself everyone's number one fan. I love learning so I like people who can teach me something.

PHILOSOPHY

I have two quotes by which I try to live my life. 1. "Wherever you go, no matter the weather, always bring your own sunshine."~D'Angelo 2. "strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." ~Tennyson

Basically, I try to cheer everyone up and keep things happy, and never stop exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I can only meet up for lunch, coffee, or a fun outing as I currently do not have a couch. But when I do, I will definitely reciprocate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been a great way not only to travel and find a place to stay, but also to meet new people with different perspectives and expand my worldview. I've loved my experience so far :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not really sure. I'll get back to you! But some great memories are scuba diving in Australia, playing tag with Peruvian kids in Ollantaytambo, spending a week in the Amazon, walking the Great Wall of China, taking the shinkansen in Japan, seeing Chichen Itza in Mexico, meeting friendly people in pristine Canada, seeing the daffodils bloom while exploring castle ruins in the UK, and going to the Louvre in France.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and about American culture, in particular Los Angeles culture. I can also teach how to rock climb or do archery. I'd love to learn ANYTHING! No joke. I can share my experiences and stories, as well as fun times with great people
