How do we find meaning in a World that gives you endless options and the freedom to go down any path?

Leaving New Zealand and living in Hawaii has taught me how influential the environment and the people within it are. Finding that balance of social intimacy and solitude can have such an impact on future mental stability.

Exploring the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" on Kauai with my first dog, has helped me become a better listener and a more efficient guide.

I'm looking to become a friend to those who feel lost even when everything seems okay. I want to learn about your struggles and pain that we've been hiding behind a mask for so long. Share with me the worries that won't leave you and I will listen. I'm here for you..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about this amazing site and had to try it. At first I didn't believe it was real. There is no way locals would ever let random backpackers stay in their homes. Guess I was definitely wrong. However I feel it is not right show up empty handed. I'm able to provide a helping hand, food preparations and also stories for my host. The reason I travel solo is so that I don't have to rely on another's schedule. I can go anywhere, see anything, and think without distractions or delay! It forces me to develop a new cognitive frame and memories for myself. Traveling brings a variety of obstacles into my life that develops my personality and critical skills. It's always amazing to trek to unfamiliar places and be apart of the local lifestyle that's unfamiliar to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Honestly, even if I wanted to I couldn't give you an answer on what my favorite music, books, or movies are. This is because it is changing everyday. There is nothing I love more than someone showing me a new form of art. I can't just stick to a single genre. So i'll listen to anything from classical to rap, read anything from The Hunger Games to Shakespeare and watch anything to.... You get the idea!!!
