CURRENT MISSION

Live a life that I'm proud of and bring joy to those around me.

ABOUT ME

A wandering bumble bee in life. I try my best to understand where people are coming from and am fascinated by everyone's journey in life. I like to get lost in unfamiliar places and get into little adventures. Still eagerly awaiting my Kwai Chang Caine or Bear Grylls moments.

PHILOSOPHY

To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before. To live a life that I am happy with and proudly tell my future children about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couchsurfing! I am planning to travel slowly somewhere in the world, and I would like to join this network to get more in-depth experiences and a place to stay other than expensive hotels or youth hostels. I believe in karma, so I must invest and afford the same opportunity to those brave enough to have begun their journeys before me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The end of my graduation year, my friend and I embarked on a 1000-mile hitchhiking journey from Austin, TX to the Grand Canyon. This experience erased my fear of strangers and allowed me to hold greater weight to the selflessness and kindness in people. From this experience, I can trust that my future experiences with couchsurfing will be a good one.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The moment when the darker silhouette against the predawn lit ocean water became clear, and my brain formed the image of a 20-ft Thresher shark effortlessly gliding through the salted water in my direction, and the resulting uninterrupted inhalation that lasted an age.
