CURRENT MISSION

To live in the present and become a better person each and every day.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting people and listening to their stories. I am seeking to live a countercultural life like Jesus did, because love is simply addictive.

PHILOSOPHY

Love is always the best answer. Respect is another form of love, therefore prejudice and hate is the same. And yes, Jesus died for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed with three different hosts and am slowly starting to host people as I introduce my roommate to the couchsurfing idea.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first tried CouchSurfing with my Brazilian friend Andressa. I have to confess that at first I was suspicious of the whole idea. But the moment we stepped into Phil's house in Santa Barbara, CA we were received with such a warm welcome that I had to put my guard down, and enjoy all the hospitality Phil extended to us. Since then, I've been surfing and meeting people through this amazing network.

Interests

I like trying new activities, indoors or outdoors, meeting new people and listening about their life story, and I absolutely love live concerts. I feel loved and connected whenever I get to listen to people who trust me their stories.
