About Me

My favorite quote of all time: Don't Worry, Be Happy.
That's the motto I live by and spread it everywhere I go.

Currently living in Washington, DC and still finding many wonders this city has to offer. I do love travelling and my kind of travel is never relaxing. It's always trying to find the most authentic, culturally sound vibrance that is unique to that region.

If you're ever around in DC, and if I'm not hosting, please feel free to contact me as I love helping people out regardless.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As with everyone else on Couchsurfing... to meet new people, learn about their culture, where they came from, and the next journey in life. That's why this community is great! Everyone is different and provide their unique perspective on things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm beginning to love House/EDM style music with an emphasis on The Chainsmokers and Kygo. Although I do enjoy my country (Sam Hunt), punk rock (Blink 182), hip hop (Drake), and R&B (Chris Brown).

As for movies, I'm huge into Jackie Chan, so any of his movies. My favorite movie of all time is Up in the Air. If you haven't seen it yet, Watch it!

I really enjoyed the Hunger Games. It was the only Trilogy of books I actually completed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't name just one.... I'll let y'all in on a teaser: While backpacking in New Zealand, I was homeless and a fisherman let me stay in his tent in his backyard with exchange for helping him reel in his lobster pots. Later I found out that a Star Wars star (Ian McGregor) stayed there as well.. in the same tent! Mind Blown.

Teach, Learn, Share

You know that saying, "You learn something new everyday"? That's something I pride on. I can offer my help/guidance when I'm hosting or provide insight and be a humble student when I'm surfing in your country. That's how one should travel.

I also share my cookies on trips... something I never do
