CURRENT MISSION

Life Changing Experiences

ABOUT ME

I currently live in San Diego, CA and have been here for the past 9 years. I grew up playing sports, mainly soccer, and hanging out with friends. I graduated from San Diego State University and I can truly say that has been the most enjoyable experience I've had the chance to take in. When I stay with people, I am polite, respectful and well-mannered. When people stay with me, I am very hospitable and accommodating. I'd say more about myself, but I feel like the rest of my profile describes me pretty well.

PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes you have to fail before you can succeed.
Luck is about being prepared when the opportune moment arises.
Everything starts with a vision. It's the people around you who make it a reality.

On a side note, since I graduated college I've done nothing but work. I've spent less and less time enjoying life because I got caught up thinking making money was more important. The more I grow and learn about life, I realize that life is MUCH bigger than working every day. I've had some recent life changes that exemplified this, and I'm dedicated to trying to enjoy life to the fullest. You only YOLO once….?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've heard great things about Couchsurfing, but I've been reluctant to try it. Although, with the new year comes new adventures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Super Troopers, Step Brothers, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Gladiator, Troy, Inglorious Bastards, Django Unchained, Borat, Catch Me If You Can, Inception, The Count of Monte Cristo, White Men Can't Jump, Donnie Brasco, The Departed, Big Fish, Forest Gump, etc. I could go on FOREVER.

Music: Hip Hop and R&B are my favorites, but I'm open to anything

Books: I'm starting to get into books, but I enjoy anything business, personal development, biographies, etc. I'm more into non-fictional type books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've been able to experience is spending time with family in Italy. It was the first time that I ventured out of the US (Mexico is an exception), and it was life changing. Just having the chance to live the life of people from a completely different culture was enlightening. Sometimes you get so closed minded about the "norm" and experiencing new perspectives helps you realize that there is so much more out there than what you are familiar with.

Teach, Learn, Share

Besides my personal philosophy, life is about fear and love. If you live a life of fear, you will live a sheltered life. If you live a life of love, you will live a peaceful one. Live life like a dream and dream big. Life's also better with company.

I like learning about cultures and anything that helps me see things in different perspectives.
