About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live for now, be for now.

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer indulged in ADVENTURES, growing through experience and making community. I enjoy the beauty of nature, spontaneous adventures, photography, bicycle riding, hiking, hanging out with family/friends, music, art &crafts, and delicious food. I want to travel, see, explore, and learn more about others through social experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, be, love, and breathe for the moment, in the moment for the appreciation of what you have while being content with who and what you have in your present surroundings.
Live without expectations because the most fulfilling and exciting adventure finds you through spontaneity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have the ability to connect and break barriers between individuals and be part of a greater experience. We're all here because we indulge in adventure and travel, why not share stories and experiences with others who favor the same interests.
