CURRENT MISSION

"You weren't born for success; you were born for significance."

ABOUT ME

I like staying busy. I'm motivated for planning ahead when it's necessary and not worrying about things when it's not necessary. I love playing sports, meeting new people, learning new things, and eating delicious food.

I'm a curious adventurer trying to embrace different cultures and ways of thinking while spreading the message of positive thinking and gratitude. :)

PHILOSOPHY

I think it's important to do what you love, be ambitious about it, and inspire others to do the same. Love God, and love others. What better way to live is there than that?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people whether I am travelling or hosting someone. Everyone has a unique story to share, and you can always create a new story in your own life.

"The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences." - Thoreau

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing hot, molten lava spewing hundreds of feet below me at Volcan Telica, Nicaragua was one of the most gut-wrenching, awe-inspiring moments in my life. Never have I seen anything with so much beauty and so much raw power.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to properly throw a frisbee! I also can teach you to play tennis (I have been teaching lessons since high school). I can also help with teaching English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a positive mindset, openness, and curiosity. :) More concretely, I can share my stories. I am also a good listener when it comes to learning from others.

Also, I'm learning how to play the harmonica, so hopefully I can share music once I get better at it. :)
