About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Inspire people while having some good times B)

ABOUT ME

Hola chicos y chicas ;) My name's Josie and I'm a Mexican-american, recent grad trying to figure the rest of life out. My travels started when I did an exchange year to Frankfurt, Germany and it changed my life. I got the travel bug and want to see the world now!

I want to live my life by experiencing everything I can and inspire as many people along the way. Get to know me, I'm pretty crazy ;D

PHILOSOPHY

And in the end it's not the years of in your life, it's the life of your years -Abraham Lincoln

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind -Gandhi

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift -Steve Prefontaine

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--/I took the one less traveled by/And that has made all the difference -Robert Frost

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth -Thoreau

Einfach geniessen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because the world is one huge playground and I want to climb every playset. I'm young, trying to figure things out (maybe I never will) but I know I need to travel- to open my eyes and make my heart lighter.

If not now, then when?
