About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To change the world

ABOUT ME

OK, so to start, I lied a bit about where I live. I live in Orange County, the OC, in the city of Orange. Nice place, but I am not in LA. I live about 15 minutes from Disneyland, 25 min from the beach, 40 miuntes to LA (this is all in a car and with limited traffic), and about 25 minutes from Newport, Huntington, and Laguna Beaches. When you contact me, would you at least let me know that you realize that I am not in LA. I get too many LA requests. I know I "say" I am in LA, but please read the profile. Also, I am doing Couch Surfing to get to know people. My last "guest" was here for about 10 minutes total in 2 days. I never said anything to them.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel blessed that I received the "travel bug". I enjoy meeting people from other cultures and I think that has shaped a large part of who I am now.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Alchemist is my fav book. Braveheart is fav movie. I love all music, so I cant decide.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am currently at 55 for countries I have visited. Every continent except Antarctica...but who goes there?

Teach, Learn, Share

If I could teach anyone something, it would be to not settle for anything less then what their heart wants. I would also ask people to read The Alchemist because when I read that novel, I felt like was written for anyone who travels. I felt like it was written for me.
