About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see the entire world, one couch at a time
ABOUT ME
I've been traveling literally since I was born. I thrive off of foreign cultures, complicated languages, exotic food, rhythmic music, mystical religions, colorful costumes, curious customs - everything you can imagine that defines a particular ethnic group and makes that group special. I especially love exotic adventures, archaeological sights, eco-tourism, and hanging with indigenous people. I have to give my whole-hearted thanks to my parents, whose open minds, passion for diversity, and generous travel experiences have been given to me.
The best part of any trip is the final story. Getting stranded in the Amazon, riding camels through the Sahara, freezing on Mount Everest - I've written much but I want to write MORE!
PHILOSOPHY
"Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the people and places that take our breaths away"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I tend to meet people on my trips but I think it would be great to meet more people, even when I'm not on vacation. At the moment, I'm going to university, so I can't provide a couch just yet. But in the future, I hope to! For the time, I wouldn't mind having drinks with visitors and sharing a mutual learning experience!
