CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel to 100 countries in my lifetime. I’m about 70% there.

ABOUT ME

I live to travel. I will never have a lot of money but as long as I've got my backpack, I'm all set.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, play harder. Don't just talk about wanting to do something, just go out and do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When traveling, I am learning and sharing about various customs and cultures. When I am at home, I want to be able to share the customs, cultures, and sights of where I'm from.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been awhile since I've taken advantage of the CouchSurfing Experience. Hope to use it more to meet amazing people during my travels.

Interests

Trying new foods, cooking, meeting new people, wandering the streets of places to get a good feel for it, music, experiencing new things...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Where do I even begin? Arriving at Machu Picchu after the 4 day trek, trying to cross the street in Ho Chi Minh City, and wandering the cobblestoned streets of Florence are some of my favorite memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn to make dishes from all the regions that I visit. I may not be the best chef but I could teach some of the dishes from multicultural LA.
