CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the world and befriending new acquaintances. There is a lesson to everything and that knowledge is infinite. Aristotle once said that if human beings are able to have learned all there is to know, life would be a very dull prospect :)

ABOUT ME

I am a fairly simple individual with a desire to travel and broaden my horizons. I graduated from Florida International University in Public Administration and Philosophy, and focusing my efforts towards political philosophy. It is my aspiration to serve the United States in Congress. I'm respectful and cognizant of others and my surroundings and looking to experience life to the fullest of wonders and solve its many mysteries. I strive to find the picturesque and create beautiful memories with people around the world so I can provide my future children a childhood and life growing up that I never experienced.

PHILOSOPHY

"Do unto others as what others do unto you." ~ Confucius

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel and discover the world and meet new people! It is always my intention to try and live life as close to how the locals of the country live, to appreciate their way of life and culture. I'd love to meet people and experience the unique culture and secrets they have to share. I eventually want those I encounter to have a place to stay in the United States if they should choose to visit the area, a "mi casa es su casa" style

Interests

I love to exchange stories over any medium, food and wine and a warm environment always makes it better, philosophize about human nature and the universe, hike and explore the outdoors and experience new things. I enjoy listening to music, searching for the picturesque, and sharing warm and good vibes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew out to Colorado, rented an SUV, drove around the entire state, camped outdoors for two weeks. Also hiked up the Rocky Mountains and the Swiss Alps in Lugano.
I also met a good mate on my trip in Malaga who studies at the university in Pavia and was gracious enough to welcome me into his flat--it was such a great experience, as we talked about humanity and the universe over his delicious home cooked meals. Just experiencing life in a whole new perspective brings me peace

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and I have a lot of wisdom and experiences for my young age to share on a very broad spectrum, though there is still much to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An experience that will give a new perspective of Americans, perhaps not being arrogant, ignorant or closed minded to new things :) I hope to share our wisdoms together in the near future!
