ABOUT ME

After working in corporate America for 2 years, I decided to call it quits! Somehow I've managed to stay to devote the last four years of my life to personal development and exploration, and I'm a much happier and healthier human being because of it. Many thanks to the great people who keep inspiring me and reminding me of what's really important to me in life.

It's important for me to be in the present.

I love to laugh and to share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far my experiences include mostly surfing other member's couches and acting as tour guide in NYC. Though, I've also been to fun CS events like beach camp in Berlin, and Free Hugs in NYC, city tour in Lille, and more!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed couches in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Italy, UK, France, and Egypt. I've met many incredible people and seen spectacular sights. In the end, I want my connections stay alive despite distances. I hope to see each and every one of you again one day.

The past is history. The future is a mystery. Today is a gift; that's why it's called the present.
