CURRENT MISSION

Never let life get in the way of living.

ABOUT ME

I love to meet new people, and to immerse myself in situations beyond my comfort zone. I'll try almost anything once (sky-diving still on the to-do list) and always try to make the best out of any situation. I'm open-minded, super active, spontaneous, and I try to be as gentle to the environment as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." -Morrie

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted surfers in South Lake Tahoe as well as Salem and had many positive experiences. I haven't had a chance to surf yet but I am looking forward to the opportunity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sharing will change the world, and that is what the couch surfing experience is about, sharing ideas, food, wine, stories. It is truly fantastic!
