I'm about as laid back as they come and there are very few things I won't try at least once. I'm infinitely fascinated by the world and strive to be fully present in every moment. I've dedicated most of my adult life towards identifying and implementing my purpose on this earth, mostly realized through www.bayareayouthseed.org, while simultaneously embarking on a journey of self-discovery through a wide variety of approaches. My first love was Hip-Hop, and I believe art/music/culture that push the boundaries of human thought and consciousness is the key to manifesting a just and sustainable world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing completely changed the way I think about traveling and partially restored my faith in humanity. I've met amazing people from all over the world who have introduced me to places and ideas I never knew existed. I am here to make the world a smaller place and build bridges between myself and people who see beyond the concept of borders.
