About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taste tomorrow in the cities of yesteryears as I search for my passion shaped hole that's gouged out of my soul.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent graduate from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM. My B.A. is in English Pre-Graduate studies, and I dream of being a writer despite my muted motivation. I'm currently in search of my passion, that "something" that I believe all people require to achieve true contentedness. I recently moved from Albuquerque to San Antonio, TX to take a break after a disorienting four and half years of college. Currently, I'm planning a trek to the EU to sate my inner Marco Polo; this trip is the apparition of the madness that manifests out of the fear to fail and the demand to succeed in the Red Queen's world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a recent recruit, and I am currently participating by engaging in CS as my main method of shelter in my upcoming adventure. I believe people innately desire to understand and connect with other humans and cultures, and I believe CS embodies a program that creates the community and connectivity that people yearn for.

Interests

I am interested in literature, languages (though I am currently only fluent in one), wine, theories on purpose, and exploring the hidden areas.
