About Me

Hello World,

I am a great travelling enthusiast. I have learned so much from travel that I could not have ever have experienced or learned otherwise. I have made it a rule for myself to do at least one extended excursion a year so I can expand my horizons and see what is out in the world. So far I've been to approximately 10 countries and look forward to seeing more places.

Professionally, I am a real estate agent which gives me the opportunity to meet a lot of wonderful people everyday. I truly love my job since I get to be a part of one of the biggest decisions most people ever make and having the opportunity to help them as well as hear their life stories have been a dream to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I have found that my favorite parts of most of my trips were when locals showed me something that I would have never otherwise visited just because it would never have come up on yelp or tripadvisor. I love to see how to main tourist locations but sometimes, going to a small little mom and pop restaurants can be one of the best things ever. I usually use AirBNB but have found that not all hosts are looking for guest host interaction so I believe that couchsurfing may be a more appropriate site for me.

Interests

I love reading and learning everyday. I try to read at least one book a week. Movies and TV shows are my vice. I can binge watch a whole series of TV shows in one sitting (even if I don't enjoy the TV show, I'll finish it, it's a problem.) I enjoy all physical activities and am currently into crossfit, regular weight lifting, and bouldering. I also enjoy hiking, long walks or jogs and taking my german shepard out to explore the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Predictably Irrational. Influence. 4 agreements. The alchemist. Kokology.all Harry Potters.

Movies:Toy story series, anything Pixar related, The departed, Inception, and Prestige. The movie I always watch when I feel under the weather is a beautiful mind

Shows: food channel, How I met your mother, Suits, GoT, Walking dead, Simpsons, fresh prince. Whenever these shows are on, I'm inclined to watch it all the way through.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel everyday is an amazing thing and another opportunity to learn and change yourself towards something better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a huge interest in Psychology and cant share my insight into the topic and I'm a great listener so I'd love to hear your current qualms and see if we can make things better.

I also have extensive experience with real estate so if you're looking to invest or buy a home to live in, I can give you some general pointers.
