To live in the now. while smiling. That is what I strive for everyday. I want a gentle heart and an open mind. I hope through travel and progress I can achieve this goal and generate positive energy that radiates and helps others.

I am interested in foreign cultures in hope to find a new perspective on life other than the one I have learned from American culture.

MY PHILOSOPHY:

Walk like you own the place.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

No couch at the moment but I do intend to surf :)

I hope to meet new people who can share their perspective on life and fun memories as well.
