About Me

CURRENT MISSION

figuring how to get to Peru and climb machu picchu

ABOUT ME

I'm incredibly laid back, and genuinely interested in everything. I enjoy listening people´s stories because everyone is so dynamic. I love to have coffee and just hang out for however long and love to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Personal philosophy... I am very into free thinking. I enjoy having conversation with people who are different and can enlighten me on any subject, and I love to share our experiences in the hopes that someone can benefit from them. If money didn't matter, I would be a vagabond, moving from place to place with nothing, but I can´t afford it ;) but I'm jealous of those who have the time, guts, and money to do so. So I´ll probably get a job, and live from trip to trip. I'm out to help people in any way that I can. My dream world is one without judgement and one where we embrace our differences.

Life throws curveballs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed on my last trip through Europe, and now that I'm home, I am excited to share my hometown with anyone who wants to come. Charleston is one of the greatest places in N America. I also am excited to meet other CSers in the area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I LOVE COUCHSURFING. I will never forget going to see the North Sea with Jost in the Netherlands, and I will never forget being on REALMANTV with Josh in Berlin. I will never forget Rafael's smile and amazing attitude about life, and finally Luis's kindness unique to those wonderful Sao Paulans...can't wait to have more!
