Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn as many languages as possible, and learning from new encounters around the world. Unfortunately I am only fluent in 2 (English & Spanish) however I am also proficient in french and mandarin.
I am teaching english abroad, hoping to teach english as a second language and giving my students a strong English language foundation.
I want to travel along the way and meet inspirational people. The last thing I want to be is an ignorant American, so please correct me.
If i could describe myself in one word it would be Effervescent.
Orange County born and raised but often ran off to Los Angeles or mexico for a break. I love all animals, dancing into a trance (especially hula hoop), dive, do yoga, meditate, learn cultural beliefs and practices. For example, I would rather be at a village ritual than a full moon party while on my stay in Bali. I am open minded and spiritual. A graduate from California State University of Long Beach but I aspire to pursue my masters at Berkeley. I will be in Asia for the next 3-5 years.
PHILOSOPHY
"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose site of the shore"- Andre Guide
A Positive attitude can change everything.
Perhaps the experience we all secretly crave when we travel: the chance to be transformed
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I want to couch surf and meet wonderful people that can show me their favorite places in thier town, I enjoy seeing what makes them proud to live there. I plan to Host after my travels because I think its hard being a tourist in Southern california. Everything is so far and spread out and if u dont know where to go u can end up with a bad experience and I want to help people to see cali the way I do.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
By surfing peoples couches and showing people around back home. Also to practice speaking french and spanish with travelers over a cup of coffee.
