PHILOSOPHY

You will only get out of something as much as you put into it - you need to jump into opportunities with two feet and experience them to their fullest to get everything out of it.
"Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, and live like its heaven on earth.” - Mark Twain

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been fortunate enough to reap the benefits of surfing some couches in New Zealand. I've also met some awesome travel partners through the site. I have had such awesome experiences with everyone I've met I would love to give back to the organization by providing some of those supports I recieved, here now that I am home.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One of the most amazing things I have got to do, is see the Orange Bowl game in Miami in 2007 - it's an experience not many people have done, and it's awesome. I've been very fortunate to be on some amazing family holidays to Disneyland/ Disneyworld and Mexico, and been on some pretty amazing dives.
I am so fortunate to live just several hours away from the most beautiful mountains in the world so I try my best to take full advantage of them and go skiing as often as possible.
Last year I spent 7 months all over New Zealand, and 3 months in SE Asia. It was so amazing. Too many stories to share. We can discuss these over a beer or coffee!
