About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn about as many cultures as I can while I'm still young, and take advantage of every moment in my life!

ABOUT ME

I am a 25 year old that loves to live. I'm up for anything and everything... not scared to try new things.

My hobbies are music, particularly guitar, dancing (hip-hop), sailing, snowboarding, and obviously...TRAVELING!!!

I am currently still in school, studying in music education with the goal to teach in highschool

I love learning about different cultures and getting in with the locals wherever I travel, that's what I find is the best thing about it.

That is exactly why I find couch surfers such a cool principal, you get to stay with local people and see how they live their every day lives.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live, enjoy ever moment to the fullest and help people when you get the chance to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch is available most of the time, unless we have relatives or friends over

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just had my 1st couch surfing experience and I loved it. WBA a rear way to travel. I have yet to receive any request though. I think the fact that my house isn't downtown might have something to do with it...
