CURRENT MISSION

Experience the present through living everyday to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

I am currently living in the Wellington Region of New Zealand, doing my graduate research. Meeting new people, enjoying the outdoors, and seeing the beauty of life are what I love. Reading books, discovering nature, doing something new, adventures and learning new skills fuel my days. I love learning about people and their experiences in life. Taking a nice hike and discussing all aspects of life with new people is one of my favorite things.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about being present every second. In each moment there is something new to experience, learn, and see. It is through these moments we live our dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am trying to get more involved through events, hosting, and surfing. I've surfed many times and have played tour guide too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first time couchsurfing was a last minute ordeal that ended up being one of the best nights of my life. Since then, I have had amazing experiences surfing and playing tour guide to others, as well as introducing new people to this great community.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that each person serves as a new journey and step in the lessons of one's life. Each person has something new to share that can be transformational. We are all chapters in each other's books of life. It's up to you to determine how each chapter will be. Be love.
