CURRENT MISSION
To experience the fullness of life through as many lenses as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm solar powered and intellectually driven; a balance between beaches and museums. I'm highly curious and quick to learn. I am honest and enthusiastic about life, athletically inclined, yet easy-going. I'm inspired most by music, nature, delicious food, and interesting conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

Be conscious, be kind, and live every moment like it's the first and last.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and experience la vida local.

Interests

I enjoy challenging myself and meeting new people. I like exploring new places and experiencing different cultures from within. New languages, foods, music, and landscapes intrigue me and keep me excited about life.
