CURRENT MISSION

Practice gratitude while sharing my love with the world and all in it

ABOUT ME

There is this thing in me that won't let me not do something if I say "YES" to it and I often do. I recently detached myself from my occupational obligation and have my sights set only on traveling and meeting new people. I love Mexican food, Italian food, and when I say I listen to all kinds of music I mean it. I want to learn to play the acoustic guitar and piano and to speak two foreign languages before I die.

PHILOSOPHY

Go make a life, not a living

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do my part by spreading the word of CS at any opportunity. I found out about CS from a link from a traveling website and fell in love with the idea of the infinite possibilities with strangers. I have only surfed so far, but hosting is definately in my future.
