CURRENT MISSION I'm doing the ultimate Couchsurfing thing - I quit my job to travel around the world! I worked as a part-time digital nomad for a lot of my journey but am happily funemployed for now. Looking for cultural immersion and education, meaningful connections with a variety of people, and of course beautiful and unique sights and places. www.instagram.com/peacejoyaustin ABOUT ME Very adventurous - love to explore and see new places, whether in my backyard or across the globe. I don't get bored easily; I always make fun out of anything. PHILOSOPHY Be positive 😁 Be your own quirky self 🤪 Don’t take for granted that you will live to old age - do everything you want to do now and appreciate each additional year you are given 🥰

Meus Interesses
I really enjoy learning about different cultures and watching traditional dances and listening to music from around the world. I love the outdoors--hiking is the best. I am so inspired by political and social justice activists and organizers and try to meet some in every country I visit.
