CURRENT MISSION

Learn or experience something new everyday. Smile. See every single square inch of the world.

ABOUT ME

Different. Most would say I'm different and I'm fully okay with that. I prefer to pave my own path and don't care about what society thinks I should do at certain stages in life or the boundaries it has created making people think that's how they should live their lives. Life is amazing and I'm enjoying every moment of it, good or bad. I want to experience everything life has to offer. I love to meet new people, cultures, languages, places, food, try new things and the list goes on. I love the outdoors, travel, and to experience this amazing place we call earth and to learn. People are fascinating to me. I love to learn about them and their story. We have so much to learn from each other. I'm an all-eater in life. I have a lot of energy and enthusiasm for life and love when I meet people that are like minded. I enjoy the little things in life too. Like watching the sun raise over the mountain. Or a smile from a stranger.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the things you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain was a wise man.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once, but if you work it right once is enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have only hosted but looking forward to surfing someone's couch in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few times now and so far it's been a positive experience. I have also met a few CS through friends and they have all been great too.

Interests

Anything outdoors. I love extreme weather too like snow blizzards and rain storms. Hiking, running, biking, skiing, snow-shoeing, x-country, climbing, surfing, windsurfing, sailing, water-skiing. Food of any kind. Outdoor concerts. Coffee. Wine. Beer. Desserts. Chocolate. Books. Movies. People. Animal lover. Conversations. Travel of course. Any new experience that expands my horizon and engages my brain cells.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Anytime a stranger donates for example a kidney to someone. Or do any random, beyond incredible unselfish act that makes you stop and think about that we can always do more. We should always strive to be kinder, more tolerant and more helpful, even if we think it is insignificant. The golden rule.
Paragliding. It's an amazing feeling to fly like a bird and every single time you are up in the air it's a new experience.
The Twin Towers, Manhattan, NY. I feel so blessed to have been all the way up where only personnel was allowed. Feel blessed to have been there period.

Teach, Learn, Share

Take the time to just stop. Look around you. Life is happening as you are standing there and everything between heaven and earth is there for you to experience. Ask a stranger for the best place to eat. Don't go mainstream. Sit by an older person and ask them to share their story. You will be amazed at what you will find out. Pet a dog. Get involved. Always be honest. Be who you are. Stay true to your path, your heart and what your intuition tells you. It's always right.
