About Me

CURRENT MISSION

There will be nothing worse than to look back on your life with regret, so live life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

Good day world! Optimistic, positive, intelligent, well-traveled, spontaneous, inquisitive, obnoxious (in the best sense of the word) hysterical, and obviously, modest. It turns out that I have interests in anything and everything available to me, so no matter if the discussions or activities are regarding politics, art, partying, outdoors, sports, etc. if it is in front of me, I love doing it.

PHILOSOPHY

A personal philosophy, this is a hard one. I dislike being categorized or put into a box. Everyone is so unique and everyones' life differs too much to simply categorize at all. However, everything happens for a reason. So though you might be extremely different from those around you, you can also relate in some way, and that will affect you or something in your future...I just don't know what.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I truly enjoy seeking knowledge. Whether it is from those my own age or from generations before/after me. Advice is priceless. Not to mention, my life is somewhat dramatic, so if you are looking for someone to advise and talk to, I am completely in support.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The BEST experiences while I traversed Europe. I call most of my previous hosts family/loved ones. I am always excited to meet new people from different cultures and backgrounds...that IS how one can grow to be more well-rounded.

How similar different cultures are even though there were strong stigmas that suggested otherwise.
