About Me

Open minded and adventurous, I appreciate alternative living styles and ideologies. I value sustainability, innovation and hard work.

Active lifestyle- Biking, Hiking, Basketball, Tennis, Golf
Casually play guitar and piano

We are a product of our surroundings, so lets surround ourselves with the most authentic motivation possible to lead fulfilling lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During and after University, there was a desire to go and learn what it is actually like in different parts of the world, instead of believing the constant propaganda fed to us by mainstream media .

I have worked with youth education and programming since 2008 and I have traveled to various countries to continue to do this. It is truly inspiring to slowly but surely be on the path to understanding really what this world is truly about. And that is to be as one, no matter where you are from, your race or religion.

As far as I am concerned, many people (but not all) in the Couchsurfing community have this "we are one" mentality as well. I hope to meet and connect with more of these people. With Couchsurfing comes the opportunity to transcend boundaries.
