CURRENT MISSION

to have "this little light of mine" shine across the world.

ABOUT ME

"This little light of mine I'm going to let it shine!" Is what one of my coworkers tell me I should follow. Followed by an old general manager of mine saying "I bring light to the hotel."
I'm always smiling and I would laugh at the most simplest things. Why should I stress out over spilled milk??
I love traveling whether it would be an hour travel time away from home or a 1 day travel time there is always something new. Ever since 2012 I made it a goal in my life to visit a new place abroad at least once a year. I have been doing that ever since! I am currently living/traveling New Zealand I would love to travel nearby countries while I am here especially the Polynesian islands.

I love going to islands because I love beaches, but I unfortunately don't know how to swim. I enjoy hiking but I HATE trekking downhill. Yes it is the easiest portion but since I'm so high up, it is too scary for me.

PS. it says learning Spanish but I am consider myself as conversational level
Oh also, I do travel with a little minion you can check him out in some of my pictures on instagram - xoch8988

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in living life to the fullest possible. Don't stress over the little things. Sad and bad experiences will always happen but they are there so that we can tell apart on what were our happiest moments in our lives.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to couchsurf. I've been to Finland to study abroad for a month and I've met lots of students that had nothing but good reviews about couch surfing. I sure hope all goes well with me as well. First time at this rodeo can you tell? :)

Intereses

I am most interested in food. Food will never stop surprising me. Sadly I bake better than I cook. I love going to the local vendors to get the real flavor of the country.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I took the courage to go across the pacific ocean to backpack through New Zealand for a year. This inspired me to continue backpacking adventures until my money runs out. I am excited to continue through the Philippines followed by one year in Australia.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

If there is only one thing I know is that I do not know everything. There is always opportunity to learn more. I definitely love learning new skills sets.
