CURRENT MISSION

Finding my purpose on this planet ... and looking for a job

ABOUT ME

I'm a health-conscious vegan who is focused in life and has idealistic goals of doing great things in the field of environmental politics, but I like to let my hair down and have fun too. The small things in life are what bring me the most joy--rays of sunshine peeping through the turning leaves of the trees along a forest path can take my breath away and transport me to a blissful state of serenity and well-being. I am giving and compassionate--making others happy brings me the greatest joy in life.

I am nearing a crossroads in life, seeking a job and trying to decide where to establish a life for myself. But in the meantime, I want to live my life now to the fullest!

PHILOSOPHY

I aim to have as minute of a negative impact on the planet and my fellow beings--human and non-human--as possible. My ultimate goal is to "save the planet", but such a large task cannot be accomplished by one person alone. I seek to positively influence others to make positive lifestyle changes through example rather than force.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to build friendships and establish connections with people in other places. And when I have a couch to offer, I will definitely offer it to others and take great pleasure in hosting guests in whatever place I should find myself!
