I recently decided to up and move to Florida because I became complacent and life began to feel stagnate. I had a lot of help and support along the way but I finally decided to expand and cultivate a new life. Through this experience, I have made some very meaningful relationships and had a lot of time for some introspection. Ultimately, I just want to connect with more souls and gain lasting and genuine friendships from all over! I want to see more and do more. I believe in questioning everything and experimenting and learning from each other and the experiences we have gone through. I generally try to have a "why not?" outlook on life. I believe in saying "Yes" to life because it has so much to offer if you're willing to take it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly, I just want to meet more people and share experiences together. I want to see and experience new ideas and cultures. I want to learn and grow from others. I simply want to explore more.
