CURRENT MISSION

Live for myself and respect other's right to do the same...

ABOUT ME

I have come to love myself and this life more than anything or anyone I know. I have a tremendous amount of respect for another person's right to do what they want as long as it does not impede on someone else's right to do the same.
I am always looking for opportunities to explore new things because I believe with every new experience there is always something you can learn about yourself.
I may never figure this life out completely but I will be damn sure that I enjoy it in the way I want and always have respect for its importance and what it means to other people.

PHILOSOPHY

Love yourself and your own life more than anything or anyone else and then you can learn to truely appreciate, respect, and love another's life and who they are. There is no heirarchy, only a relationship with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just recently joined the CS community. When I heard about it from one of my friends I told myself that this was the key to saving our world from complete destruction. haha, maybe that sounds weird but hear me out.
If people stopped being so afraid of other people and other cultures then i think a lot of our problems which end up in war and stereotypes would all disappear. Whether you agree or not, you cant say that the CS community discourages self exploration, tolerance of other cultures, as well as trust and new experiences. Quite the contrary, the CS community naturally endorses all those things.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am looking to rack in my first CS experience when i travel to Cordoba, Argentina in February.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I traveled to Mexico it was the first time I have ever traveld alone not knowing anyone in the place i was going. By the end of my stay, a month later, I had met people from all around the world, who, because of their openness with me, set me on a new course that would change my life but more importantly my outlook on life forever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to listen to people with different opinions and perspectives on any and every issue. i want to be challenged on my own opinions and perspectives....I want to grow and mature through my experiences with others.
