CURRENT MISSION

Atapi

ABOUT ME

I am a simple person who enjoys meeting new people and exploring new places. Even though I greatly enjoy the company of others and learning everything I can, I also enjoy time by myself to reflect and think and understand what I desire from life. My life so far has been a wonderful rollercoaster and I can't wait to see where I end up next.

PHILOSOPHY

Atapi... A word used by Thai monks that means live with your heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only recently started couch surfing while traveling through Europe and I have enjoyed it very much. The hosts have been wonderful and I appreciate their generosity.

Interests

I have an eternal affair with the outdoors and even though I am not a seasoned outdoorsman, I love learning something new. Hiking, climbing, camping, biking, and running are a few of the activities I enjoy in my free time. I also enjoy meeting new people and learning anything that I can squeeze into my brain.

• running
• flying
• traveling
• outdoor activities
• cycling

• surfing
• rock climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

All of the above. There are too many to choose from. But, I must say I usually enjoy books more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had an amazing opportunity to travel around the world on a ship a few years ago while participating with Semester at Sea. I made some of my best friends on that trip and saw some amazing places that I won't soon forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

Here is a quote that I love and I use it as an everyday reminder about how to live my life...

"Aerodynamically, the bumblebee should not be able to fly. But the bumblebee does not know this so it just keeps on flying anyway."

**Don't let anyone or anything hold you back. Just do what feels right to you.
