About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy :)

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people. Cool easygoing people, who enjoy their lives. Party animals, spontaneous people, and people who never get bored. People who like to share and people who make no apology for the bizarre or outlandish things they do. I've met so many amazing people through traveling that have inspired me and helped to shape the person that I am today.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." - Dr. Seuss

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didnt do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

"“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travels sake. The great affair is to move." -Robert Louis Stevenson

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm in love with the CS community! I surf, host when I can, and attend as many events as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first CS experience in Rome and am blown away by this community of people. Everyone is so kind and welcoming and I've been hooked ever since.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many to choose from! Every trip has left its own, unique finger print that is special in some way.

Running with bulls, diving with sharks, jumping out of planes...these all were incredible but it is the people I met along the way that really made the experience amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are and who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

I've had people come through my life and although our paths crossed for only a brief moment, they changed my life forever. I don't always remember their names and faces but I'll never forget what I learned from them and the new direction my life shifted. I hope to be this person to someone else in a positive way.
