PHILOSOPHY

I have thought about this a great deal. Currently, I believe that we are all interconnected and it is important to strive to be the best version of yourself. Follow your destiny and manifest it in reality. God resides in all of our hearts so it is through love and your heart you become more in touch with God and everyone around you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

the meet ups are awesome to meet people that are familiar with the region as well as fellow travelers. also don't get discouraged early on, when i started, i sent out like 50 personalized messages (i usually wrote a few paragraphs for each person lol) and got like 2 yes's. I'm hoping to be able to host this fall. I am also trying to start some video series on YouTube that I hope to tie into CouchSurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

started in late September 2012, got to meet cool strangers, and also meet up with old friends and friends I had only known previously through the internet.

Interests

I am trying to start a nonprofit and tie everything i could ever love into that

I'll try most everything at least one time -- usually a few.

Things I dislike are pessimism, alfredo sauce (idk it's just too creamy and cheesy!), and things that make me dizzy. I'd try skydiving but another couchsurfer told me I'd get really motion sick -- so we'll see!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every moment is amazing if you know how to look! But I've always been fascinated with outer space and love when I'm able to see a lot of stars in the sky. Anything that helps you remember how special it is to be alive!

Teach, Learn, Share

There's so many things I want to learn! I don't think I'm the best at anything but I have a wide array of interests and I am always excited to teach and share whatever I've learned to this point. I'll try and put it on a continuum, from stuff I know a bit about, to stuff I don't know much about but really wanna learn! I really enjoy things that are interactive, I don't watch too much TV for example unless it makes me think.
