ABOUT ME

My goal in life is to create life lasting memories, and one of the best ways to do so is through travel and human connection. Couch surfing has presented the opportunity to meet great people and experience magical locales, and my sense of adventure will inspire me to travel for years to come.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one?

Teach, Learn, Share

Grow and learn from your traveling experiences! You can travel to every country in the world, but if your perspectives and views of society, culture, and humanity have remained unchanged since the moment you left home, then you are missing the big picture. For me, traveling is not about the tours or fancy sights, it is about the personal stories locals have shared with me, the small glimpses into the lives of others', and the constant realization that we are all seperated by "imaginary" borders. Traveling has brought me to question my country, its laws, and its people, and I have also learned to question the meaning of "home." Whilst traveling, I also hope you are doing the same, and remember, never stop questioning the world, society, and most importantly, yourself.
