I try to be a very positive person. I believe that perspective is everything and it's a waste of your time to let bad experiences make you unhappy. There's good to be found in almost every situation. I'm a very active person, I get restless if I'm not doing something for even a small amount of time. I consider myself very sociable and extroverted and I love to simply have conversation with someone new. I feel that traveling is one of the best ways to grow yourself as a person and through my travels I've improved vastly and changed my viewpoint on many things. An open mind is incredibly important, I try to not have too many beliefs that I am completely set in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I'd like to travel and get away from the tourists. I've realized that my best travel experiences have been when I've met locals and gone to places where the average traveler doesn't. Seeing the important sites is great but I'm much more interested in meeting people and experiencing the culture of a place. I like to see what differences our cultures have; but more importantly to understand how we are the same. I believe that people from all over the world have something amazing and unique to offer, and I'd like to discover what those things are!

Interests

I love food, sports, books, movies, hiking, camping, trekking, running, and biking; just to name a few! My favorite thing to do is try something I've never done before! I'm extremely interested in exploring new places and learning about the culture and the people.
Animals! This deserves its own section because I really love animals. All animals. But especially my parents dogs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ughh idk.
This one time my dad and I trekked for four days above 3,000 meters. The picture on my profile is of that. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, Learn, Share? Okay well..
Teach
I can help you with your English if you'd like that! Other than that I can teach you about my culture, my experiences, my family, my friends, anything you'd like to know. I'm open to talk about all of my experiences.
Learn
I want to learn everything! Life isn't long enough to experience the world as fully as I'd like, but while I'm here I want to learn as much as possible. I believe you should learn and improve everyday, and that's one of my life goals.
Share
Sharing is great! Haha I believe completely in the idea of generosity. Karma is an ideal of mine, I try to put as much good into the world as I can and hope that some comes back.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation! Friendship! Help around the house! A person to try new things with!
Of course I will clean up after myself completely and not leave a mess in any part of your house.
