CURRENT MISSION

Traveling around the world since December 7, 2015.

ABOUT ME

After 3.5 years in Corporate America, I quit my job and have been traveling around the world. My goal is to spread love & mindfulness wherever I go. Check out my website to learn more about me: www.megspire.life

PHILOSOPHY

You determine your own happiness. I am a big believer in staying positive and always looking on the bright side of things.

I live by two personal quotes -
1. Results don't come free but hard work pays off.
2. Live in the moment but have expectations for your future

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My Dad is also a member of couch surfing and we host people at our house in Pleasanton (45 mins east of San Francisco) whenever we can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love couchsurfing because its a great way to meet like-minded individuals and experience the real culture of a country firsthand. I love meeting new people and I couldn't ask for a better way to experience a new place.

Interests

Besides traveling, I love hiking, snowboarding, wakeboarding, anything adventurous and being outdoors.. I am a Yoga Teacher as well and specialize in Hatha Yoga. I love taking pictures and capturing my life on film! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Being a counselor for Camp Kesem which is a student run summer camp for kids whose parent has or had cancer. I encountered some of the strongest kids I have ever met and feel blessed to have been a counselor.
2. Trekking 5 miles in the jungles of Thailand to a hill tribe where I stayed the night. One of the prettiest views I have seen in my life and coolest experience.
3. Hiking the Valle de Cocora in Salento, Colombia. The wax palms are one of the most incredible sites!
4. Road tripping in a van up the coast of Australia
5. Swimming with whale sharks
6. The Gibbon Experience in Laos
7. Paragliding in Colombia

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a student of life and love soaking up all the knowledge I can. Our mind is our most powerful tool, I believe with the right mindset anything is possible. I can teach you how easy it is to be happy and look on the bright side of every situation.
