PHILOSOPHY

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

I hope to learn from others and be a better person for it, to continue learning and growing and do what I can to pay forward the good fortune bestowed upon me to positively impact others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just getting started with CS online community but I've done it on my own for years. I am looking forward to sharing more experiences with people around the world as well as extending the same generosity to others as has been offerred to me over the years and across the globe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've taken in strangers and friends of friends over the years and always appreciated the stories shared and experiences had with those I took in. I've been taken in by complete strangers in many countries and feel fortunate to have experienced the immense generosity of others.
