Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To help others as I would want other to help me.
ABOUT ME
I am told I am a very positive person, I would like to keep it that way. Yet...I can only be extroverted for so long then I burn out. I love to volunteer and help where it's needed. I would rather play a sport than watch it on tv.
PHILOSOPHY
What makes it possible for me to live in this disorderly world, even though I crave another kind. But there can be no other kind. I can complain, or appreciate what I have here. So The world is very much like my family, filled with people of unharnessed passions, illogical impulses, inconsistent religions, and clashing philosophies of all things meant to be born in the moment of our awakening. How hard it is to find the good in people and not the bad? This is why I value people in couch surfing, people you tend to meet traveling find value in themselves more than those who never travel, this positive energy is contagious and motivates my ass to get out there... Where I feel more authentic... traveling the world discovering self.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I don't mind giving someone a place to stay for the night or two. It just depends if I'm home or not. I have a place on the east coast too in NC. I'm over in west Covina, about 15 to 20 min from down town LA.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have stayed with one couch surfer in Egypt, she is the kindest soul I know. You can find her in my friends list if you want to visit Egypt too. Don't expect a free trip. Going to India in August as well as Nepal, Bhutan, Phuket, and Taiwan.... feel free to advise me on any tips...
Interests
Everything, hiking, dance, snowboard, skating, crafts, animals, cooking, swimming, camping, relaxing is a good one. Especially rollerskating. Tell me you want to learn country dancing and it's on... lol Love to exchange style of cooking.
