About Me

Young traveler starting my journey. Tell me about your experiences with WWOOF and or Peace Corps! Studying in Spain for 9 months starting in September! I'm a big believer in continuously pushing your comfort zone. Doing the things I thought I could never do makes me feel powerful and alive!

I found the meaning of life....do the things you are most afraid to do.

When I'm in a new place I find literally everything amazing ("look at this tree, look how its growing"). Anyone else feel this way?? I love this feeling and it's how I know I'm meant to travel.

The idea that we all have a #1 home and #1 people in our lives. We will continuously grow and branch out to new places and people through traveling but everyone can trace their lives to some beginning. Never forget your start because you wouldn't be you without it.

I travel to: broaden my world view, eat fun foods, understand different people's struggles, party with strangers, make those strangers into friends, feed my appetite for adrenaline pumping experiences, learn languages, foster respect for people who live differently than me, remember that at the core of every human on earth is the capacity to love and be loved, climb peaks and feel proud at the top, prove to myself that I can do anything, help other humans because I've been blessed with such a fortunate life, share my positive energy, inspire others to travel when they think they don't have the time or money, make the most out of my life!

Always interested in trying new foods, stretching while listening to music, prancing in briefs on the beach, attending track meets, exercising.

Learning to be more selfless, give without expecting return, confront emotional traumas, invest more time in experiences and relationships, focus on the task at hand, work on a long term project that requires delayed gratification.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people, travel around seeing beautiful things while saving money on accommodation. I love the idea of having a network of friends all over the world. Even when you're miles away from your first home, you're never alone! I look forward to hosting travelers once I have a stable residence.
