CURRENT MISSION

To travel with an open mind and open heart, explore the world and experience both it's beauty and imperfection, and learn as much as my brain will absorb.

ABOUT ME

At a Glance:
-Austin Native, lived in LA, and now living in New York City

- Taurus/Aries Cusp
- Artist of Sorts
- Student of Life
- Teacher of Happiness

(I've been working too hard in New York for the past two years. Looking for a change of scenery and a fresh perspective).

I live to enjoy life and learn new perspective.

I love to laugh, about actual funny things and also about nothing. It's the best medicine, and I think it's contagious. So if I laugh, hopefully you will too, and slowly we'll infect the world with happiness.

PHILOSOPHY

Basically, there's nothing that's worth more than happiness and peace of mind. I live with intention, and cherish every day and experience, every conversation, and every person that I meet.

Change is inevitable, and should be welcomed. The universe gives you exactly what you need in the moments that you need it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this point I can't host, as I have a landlord (who lives above me) that will not let me have overnight house guests. One day I definitely will do so though, and look forward to when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed while I was backpacking in Europe in 2009! In Paris (where I met a great friend who I still keep in touch with) around Brittany, and in Rome. It was a life changing experience and I'm excited to meet more people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music, but my favorite would be old rock & roll, new indie, and anything I can dance to.

My favorite movies are Crash, What Dreams May Come, Closer, and Across the Universe

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Three highlights:

1. Backpacking through Europe for 3 months solo. Too many awesome experiences to name.

2. Moving to New York City solo three years ago.. also lifechanging in so many ways.

3. And bungee jumping at the Bridge to Nowhere. A 12 mile hike to a bridge in the middle of a forest, and bungee-ing off the side over perilous looking rocks below. Fantastic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to meet people who are really passionate about whatever they do. It's interesting to me, whether it's a hobby or their work, to learn what makes people thrive. I also love to talk shop about business and startup ideas for any startup founders or lovers out there.
