About Me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgqzvD8AimY
Well I am infatuated with French and Spanish. These languages are pleasing to my ears, and it excites me to speak them with friends. I am a very social person. I can work with multiple personalities. When no one in the room or group has the lead, I end up assuming it. I am not sure why, but it feels right. I am very extroverted and show it . When it comes to discipline, I welcome it . As a person who gets up every morning at five to workout (not Sunday), Self discipline comes easy to me. I love ice cream! , but don't mind trying new foods. I just started drinking when I turned 21 so I am exploring different drinks , but never have and never will be drunk. I really just want to drink for taste. I love working with kids, and have worked with daycare age up to 17 years old people. When it comes to goal setting , I am very driven! Sometimes I feel my passion annoys people close to me, but I just need to get more people around me :) .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I want to travel to countries that speak Spanish and French, meet new friends, and understand new cultures in the most economical way. I am a business major at my university, and any other option would be contrary to my understanding.

Interests

Listening to Jim Rohn (Check him out!!) , Weight lifting, reading informational books that can contribute to my personal development, working with kids, taste testing alcohols, playing Billiards, football (world), american football, swimming, watching movies/shows that will increase my emotional intelligence

Music, Movies, and Books

French- La fouine , Spanish- christian, rap, tejano, English- anything but punk rock, metal, and country songs about drinking beer. All other country songs I can tolerate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started volunteering at 11, I can remember coming to a realization that I was not old enough to work. I said to myself, "Well I can't work yet, but why don't I work for free to learn skills" . Little did I know how that mindset would set me up for greatness. I can't believe my thought process was like that at the time, but I always knew I would be in the business world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach not only English, but financial skills, principles that have reshaped and set my philosophy of life in concrete. I hope to learn how others deal with problems they have in other cultures, I know there is more than my one constructive way. I would love to share my experiences in life, books I've read, and ideas that have culminated in my journal I keep. If it's one Idea that I could impart on my host it's that, the key that determines where we end up in life, is the set of our sail , not the wind. The same wind blows on us all, but if we can learn to set sail in a desired direction the wind will not last against our sail's consistence.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Expenses that may accur during my trip, and maybe even helping out at their job if possible. That would be cool to do.
