Some might say that I am quirky. Others will say that I love to laugh and my go-to joke is a dad joke. But, in the end, it makes me happy. Life is an adventure and the world is a big playground. At every turn in life, we find distinct moments where we have to ask ourselves, "What do I want to do? What does the world think I should do?" And in those moments, I have chosen to take on what it is I want to do. Because I will have to look back at my life and ask, "Did I truly live? Did I jump off those cliffs in Greece? Did I spend time with the ones that I love enough?"
"DID I love enough?"
That is the real question. I believe this world needs more love. A deep soul-connecting love for no other reason, but to love. That unconditional love for others knowing that we are all created with endowed divinity. Imagine a world where we went out of our way to love strangers as much as ourselves. Imagine the world we could create.
That is who I am.
I am also compassionate, patient, and understanding. I am vegan and love trying new foods. I cook alot, but surprisingly, don't really care how good it tastes. Weird, but oh well. I love movies alot, and while many would disagree with me, my three favorite actors are Will Smith, Leonardo Di Caprio, and Chris Pratt.
I just graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a business degree, while pursuing my dream to be in the business side of the NFL.
I cannot wait to meet new friends and share memories with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet wonderful people in the countries I travel through. Seeing the world would be wonderful, but to me, it is the people that you meet that make the experience special. To many, I believe in the good in people and know that Couchsurfing will allow me to meet extraordinary people. All the while, seeing the places that they believe is important to see.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll tell you about the time that I ran across a stadium field in front of over 40,000 people.
When I was a kid, I was selected in a raffle to meet all of the players of the Anaheim Angels. But more importantly, I was selected to stand next to Garret Anderson, the player I was named after. When all the other kids went out to the field to stand with their player, I found out that I was on the wrong side of the field(right field). I looked across the outfield and sure enough, Garret was standing with no player. So, I began sprinting to Garret. My chubby legs couldn't move fast enough. The more I ran, the more I realized just how big these fields are. Finally, I get to Garret after running for what felt like forever. My cheeks are red and I am basically wheezing because I am so out of shape. At that moment they decide to zoom in on me on the big screen jumbotron to begin the national anthem. In front of around 45,000 people, my big round red face was dominating the screen and all I could do was try to breathe and not pass out. Thank goodness everyone from my baseball league was there(roll my eyes) because they reminded every chance they got.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would say that anyone who hosts me is getting an extremely grateful, friendly, and super funny person. Just kidding, I am not super funny, but I laugh at myself a lot. More importantly, that at the end of the stay, I hope that I could be a new friend who could host you someday.
