About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share culture, be a mindful traveler, and enjoy every minute of this adventure!

ABOUT ME

Español e inglés 🙌🏼

I'm free, fun-loving, and independent (but aren't all couchsurfers?). You may be interested to know I grew up in rural North Dakota (which happens to be the geographical center of North America) and graduated High School with a whopping 9 people!

WHICH fuels my excitement and passion for traveling, exploring, and meeting new, eccentric, exotic, magnificent people!🧡

LIFE PHILOSOPHY

Leave everything in better condition than you found it. Smile, it's contagious!
Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive.
Just because I wander, doesn't mean I'm lost.
Pay it forward.
Begin every day as if it were on purpose .
Never lose your childish wonder.
What comes around goes around.
