hi there!

i'm a traveling entrepreneur, vocal artist, philanthropist, and creative. i love talking about idea generation, culture, life optimization, and social impact.

i believe that stories, of every type of content out there, move people. thus, i'm on a mission to gain as many crazy experiences as possible in the next 3+ years of my travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

a couple of big reasons for why I'm so excited to meet my couchsurfing hosts:

1. i'd love for you to be apart of my stories - that get told to another new friend across the world, on my vlog (video blog), or in my future books.

2. i want to learn about the local problems that communities around the world are facing. oftentimes, they face very similar issues. i really value chatting with locals about finding potential solutions and how i can help (or create a business/system that would help solve issues).

3. exponentially expanding my worldview and awareness

4. language learning - my language-learning goal is 7 languages by 2020 (i already speak 3). i haven't quite decided what other 4 i want to learn yet (mandarin and portuguese are currently on the list). thus, i love hearing new languages and seeing whether i'm interested in learning them.

5. try local new foods + activities
