CURRENT MISSION

Currently on a 3.5 month trip through central and south america. Hoping to learn as much spanish as I can along the way. I love to experience different cultures, be inspired, meet new friends, and explore different landscapes.

ABOUT ME

Optimistic, generally happy, easy going. I'm adventurous and always looking to try new experiences, but also love quiet time to relax, reflect, and stay balanced. I constantly challenge myself to grow as a person, and always try to be kind, respectful, and open minded. I find joy in helping others, love being outside, and meeting new friends. For me travel is the ultimate learning experience, and I can't wait to see more of the world! I want to live life to the fullest with no regrets.

PHILOSOPHY

The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude.

Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Love the idea of a global community that connects like-minded people from all over the world. Strangers are friends you haven't met yet!

I love any book about self improvement and growth. Just read Buddha's Brain by Rick Hanson...it's about neuroscience and how the way you think affects your brain.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I jumped off a 75 foot cliff into the Adriatic Sea! But I've been lucky enough do to some other pretty amazing things too.
