About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A great human revolution in just a single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a nation and, further, can even enable a change in the destiny of all humankind

ABOUT ME

I am currently a student at Soka University of America outside of Laguna Beach, California. I love this school and feel connected to the small community of people from around the world. The mission of the school is to foster global citizens, and through many opportunity’s I’ve been able to travel to places around the world and have become more humble.

PHILOSOPHY

Well I may not be you and you not me,
but between us there are certain similarities.
Like I belive in love and the Devil will come,
looking for us if we wrong some one.

Freedom, is ours to hold.
It's just a struggle in your mind, to keep your soul.
And it's old, yes it's old,
it's just a struggle in your mind to keep your soul.

Well how long you're down,
depends how you rise.
And life has a meaning so open your eyes.
The seeds that we speed into life to be trees,
will soon become fallen,
if their roots aren't deep.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to host people and meet friends through my travels to new places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Excited to begin my experience!

Interests

Anything that is new to me. People are complicated and fascinating! I also love adventuring and exploring nature. Innovating, creating, and producing. I am passionate when I capture other people’s passions. I enjoy filming and recreating people’s stories. I am an action person and prefer to be on the move, but I also love to sit and have long conversations that go into the night.
I am studying Humanities, but I am really interested in alternative education and further how we can make education about the ultimate happiness of the learner. I am currently trying to expand my experience and knowledge of permaculture/environmental design. I want my life to be as sustainable as possible while I am contributing to the sustainability of the planet as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most beautiful art and music that I have witnessed has been in the places that people are the most afraid to visit and created by the people that we are afraid to listen to.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn from listening
Teach from experience
