CURRENT MISSION

“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

ABOUT ME

HELLO! Simply put, I'm a goofball. Due to a lifetime of endlessly embarrassing myself in one way or another, i have learned to laugh it off and just have fun with life. Who really cares what other people think right? I love genuinely nice people, food, overweight animals, traveling, and film. Learning about culture is my addiction and I can never get enough of it.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I can't host right now (blame the roommate!!), I am willing to take people to the places i love. So if you're coming through LA, let me know!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have CouchSurfed in Cambodia and Hong Kong. Both experiences have been amazing. At first I was skeptical but meeting people who have such trust in strangers and who only see the good in people makes me a better person.
