About Me

Soon to be pharmacy student trying to travel the world before being slammed by the harsh reality of work and school.

While growing up, I've learned to try and see the world from other people's eyes and obtain a broader perspective of life. Meeting people from around the world is an amazing experience that I have cherished.

When I have children and grandchildren, I want to tell them incredible stories of my travels and encourage them to explore the vast world around us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would love not only to travel the world and see new places, but also to immerse myself within a country's culture by living with natives.

One of my fondest memories was when I visited Japan and stayed with some locals who took me to the best restaurants, the best sights, and the best experiences. We welcomed the new year with a huge party and of course, plenty of sake!

Experiences like this are what makes me want to explore the world and couchsurf with citizens of countries to learn more about their culture and exchange our personal life stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Would be amazing to skydive and parasail one day!
