CURRENT MISSION

"Go everywhere and anywhere. Where do you want to start?"

ABOUT ME

I love taking in different people and places, finding the differences and similarities across cultures, and living life at every possible corner of the Earth. Life is too short to stay in one place.

PHILOSOPHY

"It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for. It doesn’t interest me how old you are, I want to know if you are willing to risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine. It doesn’t interest me where you live or how rich you are, I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and be sweet to the ones you love. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and truly like the company you keep in the empty moments of your life." - Jon Blais

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling is not just about going somewhere and seeing new places -- it's about the people you meet and the experiences you share together. With CS, I want to build a community of new friends and new experiences.
