CURRENT MISSION

Packed out of the US forever 4 years ago. So I'm exploring life in many places closer to the nature and hoping to exchange with people from all over the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm open-minded, independent, and love to explore new things, hobbies, cultures, and people. I have a world map above my bed, which I plot trips on nightly. I don't plan my life too far in advance...I just like to keep it spontaneous and unconventional, and find ways to live a more simple and intentional life.

I've also launched an NGO called The Wandering Samaritan, focused on enabling international travelers to create random acts of kindness and small projects to help those in need along their travels. Couchsurfing community should be a good match for this I believe! If any of it sounds interesting to you, let's connect!

PHILOSOPHY

Dream big, really big! Ignore convention, try everything, life is about constant growth and exploration. I fear mediocrity and will stop at nothing to avoid it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm so inspired and amazed by this community. I've had wonderful experiences surfing in the early years and have hosted folks in Los Angeles and New York. I'm on the road now so I'm ready for another round of CSing :)
