About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On my trip around the world my mission is to meet amazing people, see jaw dropping sights, hike/explore countries I have been dreaming to visit and come home with stories that will inspire others to live out their dreams.

ABOUT ME

I have traveled since I graduated. I have lived in other countries and experienced many different cultures. My time overseas has opened my mind to a world that captivates me! I have had the best adventures, explorations and thrills of my life and continue to do so. I enjoy sharing stories and meeting new people. I believe the best way to know yourself is to constantly push the boundaries of your personal limits. Traveling is not only my passion but has defined who I am today.

PHILOSOPHY

I have had experiences in my life where I was completely down and out, rock bottom you could say.. With an unwavering positive attitude and a passion for overcoming the impossible, those experiences went from the worst to the most meaningful and best stories of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whenever a fellow traveler has come to my home town, I have always made it my mission to show them everything my place has to offer. I love to inspire and motivate others!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At this point in time I have only heard excellent stories of CouchSurfing. I am looking for some outgoing and adventurous travelers who can help me make my trip go above an beyond what I have imagined.

Interests

I am an Outdoor Adventure Guide, trained in White Water Rafting, Kayaking, Natural Interpretation, Mountain Experience, Camping, Native Traditions and Adventure Sports. I enjoy being spontaneous, living life in the moment and inspiring others.

Teach, Learn, Share

Just as I said with people I enjoy meeting. There is not a single person that you can't learn from, there is always an experience that you yourself have not taken that someone else can shed light on. Keep an open mind to others, the most random of acquaintances could become the your greatest teacher.
