About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover everything!

ABOUT ME

I love people and all their wondrous ways. I find the world and us silly humans fascinating. You'll find that I am very accepting and adaptable to many environments. If I am uncomfortable I search for why, and try to change my perspective so that I can see yours. In this way I am always growing and learning and loving it! In the meantime, I am looking to have the most fun a human being can have!

PHILOSOPHY

All I know, is that I know nothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

SO far I have just couchsurfed on this site. I have used other sites in the past where I stayed with others. I used to live in a large home where we often have people stay with us as guests for hours, days, weeks, or even months at a time. We had alot of rules to follow in the house, but they all fall under the basic premise of "Leave it cleaner than you found it." This way we can always leave a clean space for the next person. In this way, even though I have not technically "hosted" a CS I have hosted many friends and strangers who became friends in my house. I am looking forward to expanding these experiences through CS. I’m planning to be able to open up my next home to CSers in a few months!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed in Vietnam, Thailand, Bali, New Zealand and unofficially in San Diego, CA, and El Paso,TX (USA). I've met some amazing friends along the way and looking forward to the next adventure. <3

Interests

I am beginning a new stage of life involving a journey within myself and many journeys around the world. Right now switching between working hard, going to school full time and then traveling, all in chunks of the year.
I am always up for an adventure and any learning experience possible. I am not afraid to get dirty and work hard, but I am just as happy relaxing on the beach taking it easy. I love life! Mine and yours! :)

People keep asking what I am studying in school. What is my major? What is my goal? I am getting my degree in awesome. My goal is to never stop. (Ok my major is Electrical Engineering...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Finding a small beautiful beach in Puerto Escondido and swimming during a hot thunderstorm.
-Walking through the steep hills in Taxco, Mexico and enjoying the view of the city while Riding the Zip Line between mountains.
- My first Surfing experience in San Blas and riding the tiny waves like a boss!
-Hiking through the brush to a small hidden lake in Tahoe and jumping in the icy cold water. Whoo!
-Enjoying a Pearl Jam Concert in Argentina and seeing how passionate the people were despite the lack of booze (very unlike here).
-Singing Kareoke in Hue with a very sweet Vietnamese girl and her friends.
-Seeing the passion and love a woman used to save herds of elephants in Chiang Mai (and getting an inspirational tattoo).
-Drinking Aarack with the locals in Bali and going up treacherous hills on my motorbike.
-Meeting some heart-warmingly friendly people on New Zealand and seeing such beautiful land.
-Enjoying the Beaches all along the CA coast (it’s my life long adventure)
