(I was verified when CS didn't charge and have additional reviews on AirBnB: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/21989614
& my TaskRabbit profile+reviews: http://tr.co/niniv)
I'm background checked and verified there as well. :)

CURRENT MISSION:
To TRULY live [life on my own terms], learn, and experience new or unique things, people, and places.

ABOUT ME:
I have big aspirations, big dreams, and big goals to make those dreams come true. I left the San Francisco/Bay area after getting resume-enhancing work and left after 2 years of doing time and learning how I've been a work-slave to the US system.
I did a 10 month tour of SE Asia where I traveled for the first time in my life and backpacked. I'm working on my online businesses and SE Asia bound again.

I've joined this site to fulfill some of my travel-related dreams, to meet new people I wouldn't meet otherwise, and ultimately, to deeply connect with others. This site's existence is a comforting thought to me.

PHILOSOPHY:
I live for my quality friends, adventure, and love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING:
When I can, I WILL host people. And I plan on int'l surfing in the future, as well. If anybody wants to know what any of the countries I've visited have to offer, don't hesitate to ask! I'm incredibly familiar with the whole area. I have lived all over Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chiang Mai + Bali.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
My experiences have all been great. I've even let Chris have my lamp. Couchsurfing seems to never fail a person in need. People have helped me through very short periods of homelessness and I'm grateful for that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climb monuments and take photos on them but I'm afraid to do it overseas,
Traveled/backpacked alone,
Visited Viet Nam from south to north in 1 month, and years later, went back and lived there during Covid and became a rising star EduToker,
Made it to Nusa Penida and snorkeled with manta rays

But really, I've overcome homelessness 3 times and once voluntarily lived out of my car during winter to save money. It gets very cold in SF.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is universal- If you have a hard time squeezing lemons and limes... Cut them in half, stab the flesh all over with a fork, then find that squeezing will be effortless. I promise. No one else will ever tell you this because most people don't know this. lol
