CURRENT MISSION

Choose the road less traveled

ABOUT ME

I learned about couch surfing from a friend I met while living in China. I caught the travel bug at that time and I think it's a virus I'll live with my entire life.

It's hard to describe myself, but easier when other people do it for me. Last month I received a birthday card full of memories from a group of friends. 10 out of the 13 called me crazy and spontaneous. So there you go!

I could live in a shack in Peru the rest of my life and be happy. I am aware of the poverty and inequality in the world and I want to make a difference.

PHILOSOPHY

Make memories with people, not things.
