About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and be free-spirited. To say yes as often as possible and take bold steps.

ABOUT ME

i learn by doing and by communication. The more you take yourself out of your comfort zone the more you find your personality.

I am a very good listener, very loyal and generous to my friends, and dedicated to learning, as you will find out when we meet! Traveling is what I would like to do for the rest of my life, because not only are you taken out of your comfort zone, but you are also
1) learning how to survive by making mistakes and learning from them
2) learning what opportunities are out there in terms of challenges, locations, and aesthetics
3) meeting intelligible people who may affect the ever-changing fabric of your life.

JUST DO IT!

Also, I have had a plethora of odd jobs (6 in the food and bev industry) before where I am now, homeless and jobless in San Diego. The people I have met allow me to have faith in myself since they belive in me so strongly.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you want in life and correct the mistakes later on. Nothing is impossible, and if you think there are reasons for not following your dreams, that's a limiting belief that you can get over.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch surfing is a way of life for the users I have encountered. I want to do as much as possible to allow couch surfing to realize world acclaim. I don't have a place of my own yet, but very soon.

Interests

I play most sports, best at golf. I kayak, swim, and jog on the beach also. I also love learning lyrics, in both english (esp. pop) and italian (esp. operas) and reading about interesting people's lives. Learning languages will be my passion for the rest of my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in rome. I have lived in La Paz, Mexico. I have traveled to new york without a place to sleep for a week and found a place every night but one. I try to live with no regrets after the experience. As long as I move 5 steps forward, one step back can't hurt. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught golf in the past, I like helping people with anything; i have great patience. I am a moderate sailor now also

I have lots of random knowledge. I am huge into etymology and analysis of the human being (philosophy)

Teach me ANYTHING. I will want to learn from you. Tell me what makes you special and I will listen unconditionally and without judgment
