CURRENT MISSION

Letting my constant enthusiasm to discover new lands run wild!

ABOUT ME

This past year I traveled in many parts of SE Asia and India for a total of about 1 year. In the beginning four months I traveled independently and loved it! I met so many wonderful people from around the world, both travelers and locals alike, and gained a wonderful passion for life. After a quick stop home, I have now ended up in Chile, where I hope to find a job in architecture, and plan to sit still for a while. Of course, that's not to say the itch won't creep up again and I'll be off exploring other parts of South America. So here I am... loving how unexpected life can be!

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didnt do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From the few experiences that I've had in Asia I truly enjoy couchsurfing! It is amazing to meet so many wonderful people, and I am very grateful to have so many unforgettable memories with the people I've had the pleasure of meeting. I hope to host and continue surfing while in South America!

Interests

I love traveling!! - the people you meet along the way, both locals and other explorers, the exciting colors, noises, sights and smells from different ways of life, and the feeling of wonder and joy that comes from witnessing something truly amazing.

Dancing - salsa!
(would love any suggestions on good salsa dancing locations around the world!)
Architecture
Photography
Family
Nature
Scuba Diving
Reading - especially books about places I've been or want to go, travel books (not guides), adventure stories, and inspirational biographies.

I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. I find it really rewarding to learn about other people's cultures, homes, and beliefs through travel, homestays, and volunteering.

I would also love to get more involved with Volunteering Yoga, and learning Spanish...
