I believe we never know who around us could change our lives. I believe in trying to improve the day of everyone we encounter, especially homeless people. I believe in never moving so fast you don't hold the door open for the next person. I want to leave the world better because I was here.

Whether I am trying or not, I have a lot of adventures. Chaos happens in my life even when I plan. I try to embrace the excitement of everyday chaos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling across the country working for a new mission-based business/social enterprise every week!
