About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live more frugally and purge the excess so that I can see the world on the smallest budget possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm a college grad, despise debt, and hate the idea of working for other people. I'm constantly thinking of ways to get around expectations (others' and my own) so that I can free myself up to do I was meant to do. I still don't know what that is, but look forward to the journey of finding out.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness comes through learning new things. Learn and be happy.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As of now, I've only hosted a couple of CSers, but we've made lots of friends through our local network of hosts. I am currently looking to expand my hosting capability and one day travel and utilize the other half of CouchSurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in a Medieval castle in England, I traveled alone in Spain and Germany and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I want more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am by no means an expert in personal freedom but I've learned that fear is the only thing that actually can hold people back from doing whatever they desire. The lack of money and language, the too strong presence of family, friends, and debt - really have little to with one's own freedom and happiness. For me they are excuses to be afraid and not take the next leap. This is something I've learned, but I'm now just beginning the process of accepting it as reality so that I may make big life changes for the better.
