ABOUT ME

I'm a traveling graduate student on a Global Entrepreneurship Program for my Master's Degree. I will be based out of Lyon, France in the Fall, Hanzhou, China in the Spring, and Indiana, USA in the summer. I hope to be cramming in a lot of traveling and meeting a lot of new people.

I'm pretty easy-going and quite adventurous. I've traveled quite a lot on my own for someone my age, but I absolutely love it. I love going to the beach, drawing in museums, having a beer at a sports bar, taking a jog around a new city, etc. I'm down for anything.

PHILOSOPHY

Live to be fulfill a happy destiny

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't hosted yet, though I would LOVE to some day... Since I've joined, I've been constantly moving from one student dorm to the next, so it's very difficult for me to have a comfortable place for anyone to stay. I will eventually be settling down this fall and I really hope people would come stay with me... where ever I decide to settle.

As a surfer though, I've crashed on a total of 4 couches and met up with 10 people through this site. I love it. I feel so blessed whenever I stay with a host because I always end up being with people that I want to be friends with for a long time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Barcelona, Spain -- had two hosts that bailed on me the night that I arrived in the city... that was my FIRST couchsurfing experience. I decided to retire from the website for a couple of months (literally from aug 2013 until feb 2014).

Hangzhou, China -- this is the city I lived in so I got a chance to meet with some of the hosts/surfers in this area through a couchsurfing meetup event (this is when I started using couchsurfing again!)

Shanghai, China -- had one of the best hosts ever by a German guy. We're still very good friends who keep in touch pretty regularly.

Hong Kong, China -- stayed with a guy who went to my rival school! Small world! And his Swiss roommate. This was the first time I had a friend with me and we ended up squeezing in their small living room couch, haha.

Macao, China -- stayed with a Finnish guy with whom I still keep in regular contact. Super fun and I ended up staying with him two other times that I was in Macao.

Seoul, Korea -- I didn't couchsurf, but met a host who let my friend stay with him. Cool American guy, really sick apartment in one of the best places in Seoul.

Honolulu, Hawaii -- Another amazing host! He was busy at work all day, but he was also hosting 4 other surfers from Switzerland. I got to travel with them throughout Ohau Island and it was an absolute BLAST.

Música, películas y libros

Not a big movie or a book person... I like create stories out of my own life instead of reading/watching about some made-up story.

Music on the other hand... I've got over 5000 songs on my itunes. Let's trade songs :D
