CURRENT MISSION

To spend most of my time laughing

ABOUT ME

I like to hear great stories and to tell great stories. I like to laugh a lot. I have a lot of energy, and like meeting new people and trying as many new things as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

"I want to take my rightful share of life by force, I want to give lavishly, I want love to flow from my heart, to ripen and bear fruit. There are many horizons that must be visited, fruit that must be plucked, books read, and white pages in the scrolls of life to be inscribed with vivid sentences in a bold hand." -Tayeb Salih. I really can't sum up my attitude towards life any better than this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to a CouchSurfing party with some friends and met such amazing people that it made me want to start hosting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-a nighttime run along the Wellington harbor during the full moon.
-the moment when I went to Mexico and discovered that I could communicate everything I wanted to say in Spanish. I love learning other languages.
