CURRENT MISSION

To let the youth in me flow eternally and make the whole world my playground! I want to let no opportunity, adventure, or encounter slip by me!

ABOUT ME

After finishing my Bachelor's Degree at university, I took a year to save up some cash so I could get on the road to carrying out one of my life's dreams of exploring the world. The WHOLE world! I want to see the world in every color, through every eye! I have just temporarily returned to the States after making my way around Southeast Asia for the past year. How incredible and chock full of learning and experiencing and sensing and feeling beauty in so many ways! I am doing a Pacific Northwest US road trip with a close friend for a few weeks now, to finally see a portion of my native country that has so far been untouched by me. Can't wait to see what kinds of things life brings my way on this journey!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for living. You only get one shot. There are so many people and places and things out there to experience and learn from and about. The opportunities in this world are endless, and we are all in this together. Let's celebrate it...together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By sharing my stories, dreams, theories, and aspirations with other travelers and encourage others to do the same!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I took a 4.5-month trip around the US, mainly by couchsurfing, and I met the coolest people ever through CS! I stayed with some amazing Canadians in malaysia, as well, during my southeast asian adventures. It's amazing to be able to surround yourself, anywhere on the globe, with like-minded people so easily via a website! I love seeing how small ourworld really is and be able to interact with people who have totally different backgrounds and daily lives, and be able to relate to, learn from, and expand our minds from these beautiful people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived 3 days alone, barefoot and with minimal gear and clothing, not even a torchlight, in the oldest rainforest jungle in the world: Taman Negara, Malaysia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn other perspectives that I wouldn't have without interactions with others. I want to share mine as well and discuss where and how they fit in, both shedding light on my world and that of others.
