CURRENT MISSION

spread smiles to others and find the good in everyone.

ABOUT ME

i love to take photos of everything, make music, listen to rainstorms and people who like to talk about themselves, eating food, making it, learning new things, smiling, and exploring.

PHILOSOPHY

in development. but i think the most important thing is to open up your eyes and try to see people and love them for who they are. be aware. stop yourself before you judge someone. everything you perceive is in your control.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i hosted a few times when i had my own little home, but now i'm moving from home to home, and will start traveling very soon via couchsurfing and the kindness of strangers. i've done a lot of couchsurfing before, and have fallen in love with the community. i know one day when i have the means i will open up my own couch to others in need. thanks again guys!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i saw new york for the first time in september. when my bus drove through the tunnel and i was surrounded by massive skyscrapers and lights and city, i was filled with a new sort of energy. it was intense and good.

^i wrote that more than half a year ago. i didn't realize that was just the beginning of a new exciting life full of these sort of experiences. bring it on, universe.

i want to learn from everyone and return something positive of my own.
