CURRENT MISSION

Experience new cultures and appreciate beautiful places all over the world

ABOUT ME

I love life! I love traveling. Meeting new people, learning about people, from people, and encountering people and places that enhance my life and others! The outdoors (especially mountains) are the best and I am always down to try out another adrenaline sport.

PHILOSOPHY

Embrace what is! Love every moment of life. Seize the day. You know, the usual "optimist" perspective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started using Couchsurfing in January for my 3 month trip in New Zealand so I have only used it as a surfer at the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used it throughout 3 months in New Zealand, staying with hosts, sometimes just meeting up with people for kayaking, hiking, etc. I loved every experience! Such an amazing way to meet new people and learn a city/area through someone that knows it better than a fellow traveler.

Interests

I love the outdoors! Hiking, biking, rafting, snowboarding, running, camping, a bit of rock climbing, kayaking...I'll try just about anything.

1) My first time scuba diving at the Bay Islands of Honduras (Utila)...everyone should experience breathing under water!
2) Summiting Kilimanjaro in Tanzania...sleeping at 15,000ft and reaching 19,000ft (that last part sounds more fun than it feels haha).
