CURRENT MISSION

To live a creative & productive life, inspiring people to pursue their dreams & making new friends along the way.

ABOUT ME

Writing and art have been my passion & livelihood, as well as recent stints working in the wine industry in the Napa Valley, California. One of the most important things to me in life is travel - seeing new places, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, learning new things & sharing my country & culture with others. I have been an artist and writer most of my life, and travel inspires me. Making friends around the world is one of my greatest pleasures, and I've learned that people are more alike than different.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, and share your smiles, they're free!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently traveling around the world on a shoestring, writing a travel blog and finishing a book, and Couch Surfing provides a way to meet great new people and learn more about their culture.
