About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Feed my wanderlust

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
-Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Locals and those who are familiar with the city always have great insights on the best parts of their city and are a hundred times better than a guidebook. I also enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new things.
