Overview
About Me
I believe in a better world. I love travelling and meeting new people, listening to new stories and being able to see the world from a different perspective every time. I am an advocate for youth empowerment and I try to engage in projects that may improve the state of the world.
My philosophy of life is that "good people are good people wherever they go."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To travel in a way that is meaningful and not just plain "tourism" and to get to know and host awesome, interesting people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Founded a social venture that enables high school students to explore their passions and leadership potential to make a positive impact in society.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share knowledge about diplomacy, travel stories, salsa dancing, interest for photography and explore the city with you (after working hours), I'd join in almost any activity that has to do with exploring and doing something out of the regular routine!
