About Me

ABOUT ME

I have "recently" finished school and am taking time off to travel the world. I love to see different things, meet new people and make new friends.
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page"

PHILOSOPHY

The purpose of life is to be happy. If you aren't, change something. You have the power to make yourself happy. Follow your dreams and don't concern yourself with what other people think. Have fun and don't take anything too seriously.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
