About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn and travel of the world of art

ABOUT ME

I am trying to find my place in the world. I feel most at home when I am surrounded by art and when I'm traveling new places and meeting new people. Maybe my place is to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time, I am yet to know.

PHILOSOPHY

There are different lenses in which to see the world... I am just starting out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My nature is quieter than most, I thrive to observe first and then dip my toe in before taking the plunge.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've crashed in some of my closest friends from college. My most recent experience is crashing in a friend's place in Paris while I travel there. It's a great coincidence that he was there on a scholarship. It's great to have a friend as I learn how to travel alone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked through Europe by myself. Four countries, 10 cities, 5 weeks. The art, the culture, the food, and the people is something that I would always carry with me all my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be open to new experiences. Believe in your dreams. If you work hard enough, the universe would align everything to make it happen.
