CURRENT MISSION

I'm in a transition phase. I'm focusing on personal development, self-awareness, and becoming an adult. My current form of travel is via car. This is a great way to see the beauty of the United States.

ABOUT ME

I am a genuine, kind-hearted person who strives to make others feel comfortable around me. I pride myself on being able to make connections with people regardless of differences in age, culture, background, or beliefs. I tend to stay calm, cool, and collected in stressful situations and I always like to look for the positivity in any situation. I think that life is meant to be lived and every moment is another experience, it's up to you to determine how you interpret each experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't burn bridges

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking for hosts who can offer me a genuine and authentic cultural experience to their hometowns. I love being able to get an inside look into what it is that makes a place special, and nobody can do that better than a local of an area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed on one couch but I hope to increase that number!

Interests

In my free time I like to write, listen to music, watch movies, do yoga, play basketball and generally just stay active but I also enjoy my down time and being able to relax.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have skills in transmitting and reproducing information in an insightful and interesting manner through the medium of written words. I pride myself on being able to edit writing so the message, or purpose, of the words come out clearly. I want to learn about experiences of people all around the world and share those experiences through my writing.
