CURRENT MISSION

Dwell in possibility, thrive in the unexpected, and laugh till the day I die.

ABOUT ME

You can usually find me in the front row of concerts, in the woods, riding my bike, or day dreaming of foreign places.

The times I have felt most alive was swimming in the Caribbean, running through the jungle, scuba diving in the Red Sea, bungee jumping, and longboarding.

I drink copious amounts of Earl Grey, refuse to ever own a car, and can usually find a fresh bruise to show you.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is far too short to be afraid, too beautiful to ignore, and too mysterious to think you know all the answers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The people that I have met and stayed with all along my travles are some of the most incredible people I have ever met. They opened their doors and their minds to me, and made me learn about their country, humanity, and myself more than I ever thought possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumped naked...twice, walked the Great Wall of China, was breathtaken by the Dome of the Rock, felt the spirituality of the kotel and Buddhist temples in China, lived in the jungle for 4 weeks, marveled at the pyramids, got scuba certified in the Red Sea, yet isn't nearly 1/5 down my list of things to do before I'm 30.

Teach, Learn, Share

Every morning since I was 3 years old I wake up starving, my mom taught me to cook then so that she could sleep. To me it is one of the most meditative and fun past times. I would love to learn local dishes and how to prepare them with you. I also really love to garden so if you have one I would love to pull weeds.
