CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life. Laugh. Smile. Accept whatever comes your way -- you never know what it's good for.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting interesting people, traveling, and nature. I am outgoing, open-minded, prefer smiling to frowning and dancing to sitting. : )

PHILOSOPHY

In order to create peace, one has to be in peace with him- or herself first. Be open-minded, curious, kind, and accepting of others. Most importantly, question things and think for yourself. Respect yourself, others, and our planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm participating by offering a safe & cozy place for fellow travelers. I surf too. I want people to enjoy their trip and not having to worry about their accommodation. I've traveled extensively in Europe & Asia and learned that hosting is a wonderful way of giving back to and caring for people. It's wonderful how CS helps us to learn from each other and form life-long friendships. I simply love it!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a variety of music (i.e.: indie, electronic beats, hip hop, etc.), besides heavy metal - it makes my stomach ache. I prefer watching documentaries & love any types of movies that cover the chaos, beauty, and wonder of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My 10-months around-the-world solo trip was the most amazing thing I have ever done. It opened my eyes, mind, and heart immensely. Hiking to Mount Everest Base Camp, going on a random motor cycle adventure through the mountain villages of Pokhara where people looked straight into my soul, living with monks in monasteries and practicing Vipassana meditation in Thailand were one of my most powerful and amazing experiences life has allowed me to have so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always willing to share my views & beliefs, because I believe that the ability to share knowledge and accept other ideas keeps humanity & progress alive. Every person has something to teach to someone!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughs. Adventures. Honesty. A friendly environment. Good conversations. My experiences. My mind.
