CURRENT MISSION

Live it up!

ABOUT ME

I seek to discover the world around me through its nature, culture, art and history! I am fascinated by things I do not know and enjoy sharing the things that I do. I am a very curious person and want to uncover the stories that have made people and places into what they are. So I guess you could say I am a visual learner:)

I have been known to talk a lot and talk loudly! I like to entertain when I can. Yet I can go from rambunctious and outgoing, to collectively calm and cool just as easy! As much as I like to meet new people and socialize- and need it like the air I breath- I enjoy every second of being alone in the woods or at the beach to self reflect and independently explore, yet I still think I'd prefer the company of others.

I have come to realize that being close to water (oceans, lakes or rivers) makes me feel as I can be my full self and is an important part of the places I desire to be in and discover, though it does not limited me to only such places:)

Still so much to learn and see and conversation to be had!

PHILOSOPHY

I do not think I have my own philosophy in itself, but I would consider myself a philosopher generally speaking and philosophize about things all the time!
Art, Architecture, Photography, Design... are tools for personal exploration!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to Couchsurfing yet have known about the community for some time now and finally thought I'd see what it is all about! I feel Couchsurfing can provide me a richer travel experience through allowing me a chance to get more in touch with local culture and environments!
