I am a former finance professional who had discontent from the typical 9-5 cubicle work life. I have an inquenchable passion for travel. I want to experience and see all the amazing cultures of the world. I am very compassionate, kind and caring individual who is looking for avenues to engage in community service. I have lived a very blessed life, and it is now my number one priority is to find ways I can help others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The very best way to experience a new place is from the perspective of a local. I look forward to meeting new people, engaging in conversation to share and learn more about each other's culture. Why read from a travel book, when I can get such a richer experience from a local resident.
