PHILOSOPHY

A quote that I love: "Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don't be afraid to do the things you want to do, and just go for it! This is the time to explore, always learn new things about others and yourself, and discover the beauty of the world we live in. Afterall we only have so much time, and what is the point in holding back, or being embarrassed of yourself? I am always thankful for the things I have that are wonderful in my life, and do the best that I can with those things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet new people from different backgrounds, and believe it is important to be culturally aware. Diversity is what makes the world beautiful and fascinating.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly I couchsurf, however I plan to host people in my future NYC apartment starting in late Autumn 2014. I have had only good couchsurfing experiences thus far.

Teach, Learn, Share

My mom is always helping me see the beauty of the world. She is a painter, and is so talented with creating colors. When we used to take walks through our neighborhood by the base of the mountain in my hometown Tucson, Arizona, we would go at sunset. She would point out the different colors in each cloud, even if the cloud at first looked grey to me. After a few minutes of studying the clouds, I could see the different tones of the landscape, the shadow effects, and all of the colors in everything surrounding me. This is the magnificence of our world, and through her artist eyes, there is more to behold than my naked eye could fathom.
