About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as I can and meet cool people along the way!

ABOUT ME

My passion in life is traveling and meeting people from all over the world. I have traveled all over the world - from the Americas, to Europe, Asia, Africa, and more - and now I can't stop! I have a strong passion for cultures and languages. I love exploring and going on adventures. I'm very open-minded and I'm always down for a good time (with or without alcohol!). I'm a very happy, optimistic person and I'm always joking, laughing, singing, and dancing. I love ALL types of music- anything from reggae, hip-hop, techno, jazz, rock, and even country. I like to play sports, watch movies, go hiking, biking, snorkeling, bungee-jumping, sky-diving, shark-diving, or just anything crazy or fun! I live life to the fullest and love every second of it. I get along with everyone and I make memories with everyone. I have life-time friends with people all over the world, and I'm looking to just make more friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to some really crazy, awesome places. But if I have to just say one, it would have to be my study abroad experience while I was in college. I didn't just go to one country; I went to many with a program called Semester at Sea. With this program, I circumnavigated the world (360 degrees) on a cruise ship with other college students from all over the world. You take classes on the boat, study on the boat, eat and sleep on the boat. But when you get off, you are free to do anything you want in the country. I met some amazing people and saw some of the wildest things in the world. On the journey, we went to the countries of Mexico, Hawaii (U.S.), Japan, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Turkey, Croatia, and Spain, and then ending in Miami, FL. All of this in just 3 months! Also, I used to live in Hawaii! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

If I could teach the people of the world something, it would be this very simple ideology... We are all human. That may sound simple, but people don't fully grasp what it means. It means, we all share the basic necessities and joys of life as everyone else in this world. We all like to laugh, have friends and a nice family, we like to eat good food, and we all want love. We need to bring this ideology to a reality and bring peace to this world! If you can understand this easy concept, then you understand that there is no room for hate, discrimination, racism, and prejudice. We are all ONE. Can you dig it?!

I would like to learn as many languages as possible. I think every language is very unique in its own way and the more you know, the more people you can communicate with and connect with.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good jokes, stories, and I can cook pretty well! :)
