CURRENT MISSION

To discover kindred new friends and delve into the creative juiciness of life.

ABOUT ME

I tend to take the side roads through life. I have found that experiencing new people and places and getting my hands dirty, are the best ways for me to discover happiness. I enjoy anything outside, building, creating, laughing, connecting, and exploring.

PHILOSOPHY

My purpose in the world is to teach people to love themselves, others, and the earth. I am still not sure how that will play out into my professional life, but I am working on it :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in the world by listening intently and setting the intention that all that I do should bring good to world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently couchsurfed on a road trip from Colorado to California with my best friend. I was a little hesitant at first but I was blow away at how amazing all of our hosts were and how wonderful it was to experience where they lived through their eyes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently hiked the Peruvian Andes for four days. It was the most beautiful, awe-inspiring experience of my life thus far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about how people have integrated their passion into their life. I think the best way to learn is to listen and observe and try to do so without bringing your own biases to the surface. I think couch surfing is a wonderful way to learn about the goodness of humanity and all of the possibilities of life.
