About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Travel Europe Alone, Meet People, Have Fun and Create Lasting Memories!

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveler, I travel to know more about the world and myself, I started with Europe, moved to the middle east then Asia and I'm not back in Europe catching up on the parts I missed! I am a very outgoing, this being my life goal since highschool I've finally saved up the money and am on my way. I've traveled to over 24 countries so far and am looking to see many more, I love meeting people, I'm easy going and I'm always up for anything.

I'm constantly looking for places to stay, somewhere to lay my sleeping bag and backpack, I'm trying to make my money last as long as possible, I will in exchange do any chores that you need help with, although I'm not the best cook I will gladly try and throw something together for you. As I am a traveler showers and washing of clothes is always a nice addition, feel free to tell me if I need to take a shower =P
If you have rules or guidelines do not hesitate to tell me, I'm easy to talk to and don't take offensive to anything.

If you ever come to San Francisco I'd love to show you around when I return there from my travels.

PHILOSOPHY

I have many personal philosophies...
"Life's short, enjoy every moment of it."
"Try everything once."
"Life is too short to be mean and angry."
"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world."
‎"It's better to risk everything, than hold onto nothing."
"Never let a fool kiss you, or a kiss fool you."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently traveling, making contacts and hopefully one day I'll be able to host back in my home town and show them around San Francisco, California.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of the best organizations I could hope for! I've made tons of friends all across Europe never had a bad experience or felt like I was in a bad situation! I Don't think my travels would be the same without couchsurfing!

Interests

My interests range so vastly it's hard to list them all.
Let me see. Anything outdoors... literally, music, cards, good wine, good people, seeing new places, learning about new culture, learning new things, languages, food, did I mention I like the outdoors? Love meeting new people and having wonderful conversations.
