About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as I can about everything.

ABOUT ME

Just a backpacking type traveler looking to learn as much about the world as possible

PHILOSOPHY

Stay humble and think before you speak. Try to be a better person all throughout your life and accept changes that unexpectedly come your way. You can't control everything so just adapt yourself and life is much easier to deal with. Turing 30 was the best thing that happened to me :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done it once in Normandie, France when it was snowing. Great experience and met great people. I have a few friends who couchsurf all the time so I know it's good for what it's worth.

Interests

Sports, reading, traveling, exploring, climbing, learning Spanish and trying new foods!

  • reading
  • traveling
  • backpacking
  • sports
  • rock climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to everything since all music has it's place and time. I suppose I could say that Radiohead is always a favorite. Movies: Casino, Goodfellas, Lost in Translation, Darjeeling... Documentaries on traveling or dramas are good. Anything done by Wes Anderson. Favorite book: Guns, Germs and Steel

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to 3 countries in Africa all in one trip. Stayed with families along the way, cooked meals with them and got to know their extended families.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't be afraid to be alone... you can learn so much about yourself and what you are capable of.
