About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my youth; to live as if limits do not exist.

ABOUT ME

I am a firm believer in proving your worth to others rather than boasting about yourself first, but here goes: Certain days I feel extremely adventurous and other days I like to read a good book and drink a good, strong cup of coffee. My passion is helping others to better themselves, while also seeking ways to improve myself. I value good (in every sense of the word) company over all else. Most importantly, I enjoy laughing and have somewhat of witty sense of humor ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Fake it till you make it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I meet people up for coffee/drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I studied in Portugal, a really cool surfer met me up for coffee and showed me the hidden jewels of Lisbon. I really enjoyed my experience and got a kick about meeting a stranger in a place totally foreign to me and having a positive experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went head on with a deer and lost. I've walked through the medina of Fes, Morocco at night.
