CURRENT MISSION

To give thanks in some measurable way each day. To laugh every day. To act as if I have nothing to lose, because in reality, there truly is nothing to lose. To show compassion for others in need.

ABOUT ME

I'm easy-going and really laid back. I get along with almost everyone and I love meeting new people and seeing their way of life. Traveling is the most important thing in the world to me. Seeing and understanding new places and cultures is my passion, which has led me to studying this field at University.
I love lay back and relax, but I also love to go out and have a good time. You could pretty much suggest anything to me and I would be down to do it. I love to be outdoors and I love any activity that will bring me outside into nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Blaming others gets you nowhere. One grows strong with each accomplishment, and even stronger with each setback. Recognize failure for what it is and learn from it and if the purpose is true and good, persevere until success is won. Everything happens for a reason, and there is no better place to be than right here, right now.

Culpar a los demas no te lleva a ninguna parte. Uno crece fuerte con cada logro, y mas fuerte con cada reves. Reconoce el fracaso por lo que es y aprende de el, y si el proposito es verdadero y bueno, persevera hasta que gane el exito. Todo sucede por alguna razon y no hay mejor lugar que estar aqui ahora.

I believe in a higher power, and let that higher power guide me whenever possible. Listening to the wisdom of my elders and ancestors, stretches my abilities, but I also try to understand and know my limitations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am no longer new to couch surfing and have made some amazing friend through this forum. It is a great way to take travel to a deeper level by knowing and understanding the people of far-away destinations. Couch surfing is a wonderful community and embraces the ideals I find important- a community that inspires hope for humanity and society. I've hosted and surfed in multiple countries and continents and have yet to meet someone I haven't gotten along with!

I believe in treating others with kindness, being humble and serving humanity. I hope I can host visitors and share the best of my city and give back some of the kindness shown to me when traveling.

Yo creo en tratar a otros con carino, ser humilde y servir a la humanidad. Yo espero poder recibir visitantes y compartir lo mejor de mi ciudad y devolver algo de carino que me han demostrado a mi cuando viajo.
