CURRENT MISSION

Life is too short to be anything but happy

ABOUT ME

Hello everybody!

I'm originally from sunny Southern California! I grew up in the LA area, then I went to school in Santa Barbara, and worked there as well.

I love traveling!

I couldn't handle staying stuck in an office all day, and I wanted to continue exploring the world! So I quit my job in California, in 2010 and moved to Madrid, Spain!

I strongly recommend the book "Delaying the Real World" by Colleen Kinder, which has interesting insights about the richness/value of traveling/living abroad.

PHILOSOPHY

Living life to the fullest. Life is too short to be anything but happy :)

Me: Do you know what Couchsurfing is?
My sister: "Couchsurfing... is that when you take the cushion off your couch and surf down the stairs?"

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. "So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

"Be the change you want to see in the world." -Mohandas K. Gandhi

"Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves." -Henry David Thoreau

"Great people are those that make others feel that, they too, can become great." -Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am excited to be a part of the community! I've hosted some people at my previous apartment in Madrid, and all of my experiences have been amazing. I've met such incredible and interesting people I wouldn't have met otherwise!
