CURRENT MISSION

Keep traveling around the world to help me find what it is I want to keep doing in my life.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to be able to live every day doing what I love to do. I believe that everyday meetings with people will always have an impact on my life one way or another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One thing I've learned from traveling is that your experience while traveling is defined not only by the places you visit but also by the people you meet along the way. When I go home after my travels, of course I tell my friends about all the places I went, but I naturally tend to tell people about the crazy and fun stories I had with this person and that person. When you meet people from all over the world, you open yourself up to the possibility of creating memories that last a lifetime.

The best way to learn about the country, city, town is by getting to know the people that live there!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my university years, I put in a lot of time to help out with a non-profit organization doing work in Honduras. Through all the volunteering work in Honduras, I was able to see how strong a community can become when there are people who are willing to help them get out of the cycle of poverty and improve their lives. Even the kids that I have met, as long as they are given an opportunity, they will grab it with no hesitation.
