CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I've recently transformed my life from 9-to-5 status quo to minimalist on-the-go... Got rid of apartment and everything in it to go travel the world while I'm young and free. Not without consequence, this decision has been weighing heavily on my mind and my heart... just enough to remind me that to have great rewards in life, we must take big risks. What I love about traveling is meeting so many incredible people and hearing their stories, seeing what they value and how they spend their time, and enlightening myself to some fresh perspective. If you're reading this... I hope our paths will cross and we'll have stories to share!

PHILOSOPHY

Success is a measure of how happy you are. So I guess success can be measured by a genuine smile :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I'm searching for hosts on my 3-month eurotrip. When I'm back in San Diego, I'll be excited to return the favor and host my CS mates! Also, will be living in Costa Rica beginning in February for 3-6 months and happy to host surfers then!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Beginner! But I'm pretty sure I'm a lifer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a tendency to identify unique qualities in people and relate to them in some way, usually leading to pretty awesome connections ... I guess what I have to offer or share is an open mind, open ear and a genuine desire to know you. I am passionate about people doing what makes them happy - about people finding and embracing their passions... so in many encounters I have found myself as counselor or coach, inspiration and friend. I also love talking to aspiring entrepreneurs about how to turn their dreams into reality, as I have a lot of perspective regarding new venture planning and investments.
