CURRENT MISSION

I am a dreamer, a wanderer, and a lover of life. I want to meet, greet, jump, drive, dance, run, smile and go a little crazy sometimes.

ABOUT ME

I am very easy-going and love to try anything and everything. I love meeting new people and learning about them through their passions. I love to volunteer and serve others. I love to skydive, dance, go to concerts, and travel. I believe that experiencing others' cultures will help to erase boundaries and work toward creating a more peaceful world.

PHILOSOPHY

"I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, one's own family or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace."
-- HH The Dalai Lama

"You can't shake hands with a clenched fist."
--Indira Gandhi

"Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will, Sympathy, Justice, Imagination, and the triumph of principle. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism."
-- Dorothy Thompson

"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds."
--Bob Marley

"As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -
-- Nelson Mandela

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace."
-- Jimi Hendrix

I am searching for simplicity. Finding the meaning of Life by Giving Life Meaning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted locals in the USA for two years now, assisting people working for non-profits by hosting them, feeding them, and showing them a good time and a relaxing break from their work on the road!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have unofficially hosted surfers in the past. Can't wait to do it in the near future. I am about to embark on a trip to South Africa and then Europe for two months, so I will hopefully have an amazing experience with CS. I would love to host people when I return home as well.
