CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world :)

ABOUT ME

Let's see...I like Mac & Cheese and could live on Sushi if I had the chance. I often find myself wishing I could drop everything and become a ski bum at some awesome ski town (maybe Deer Valley Utah?). I think swords are awesome and just acquired my 2nd sword in Spain to hang on my wall. I am a jack of all trades, well, it certainly seems like it with all the random things I do.

I will try anything and everything and often find myself going on random adventures. I am an incredibly outgoing person! I absolutely love to travel and see the world. My current job allows me to travel every week and as such I've been able to make it to so many incredible places. I can't go anywhere in the world without meeting people and making friends. I very much believe strangers are just friends you haven't met yet.

I don´t really sleep much so it makes it perfect for exploration and long trips of lots of activities! I have no fear when it comes to putting myself out there to meet people.

PHILOSOPHY

Some people are like slinkies, they don´t really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to expand my culture by letting other people live with me and have the opportunity to improve someone else's experience where I live. I am starting grad school soon and will be able to start hosting again since I'll be in a stable place not traveling each week.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I absolutely love couchsurfing. I've hosted people from all over the world and I've been able to couchsurf at a few people's places. It has been fantastic and I look to continue getting to couchsurf more in the future.

Interests

I spend my time split between friends and time on my own. I do a lot of exploring around the country and the city I live in. I love food and finding amazing restaurants. I am a huge movie buff as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It would have to be a tie. Pamplona running with the bulls in San Fermin and almost got my ass kicked as a bull trampled the guy next to me. The other was in Rio, I went hang-gliding which was one of the most incredible moments of that trip. There is no crazier feeling than running off a cliff.
