ABOUT ME

Having grown up in a multicultural setting and continuously evolving in an international community, i have set myself apart with the capacity to adapt and create in any given circumstances. Utilizing my experiences, i combine a keen intuition and a never failing hunger for traveling and exploring the world; especially meeting new people from all around the world

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony... Mahatma Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I constantly need to learn new things
love to experience new culture from the inside
guess also breaking out from my own comfort zone
sometimes understand the true meaning of generosity
obviously meet new friends
i won't break the bank while traveling
love meeting a community that is open to everyone
do things or try things I would never thought doing before

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My recent Humanitarian journey

Imagine living in the bush in sub-Saharan Africa working 10, 12-hour days, hundreds of miles away from anything resembling a city, to coordinating aid packages for refugees in less-than-safe locations, to being the first crew on the ground after an international disaster like a hurricane. Friendships form fast when you live with your colleagues, spending the weekends exploring your new home base together. Sprinkle in some R & R to exotic locales with work buddies, a few weeks back home visiting wherever you grew up, and you have the lifestyle down pat. While one might choose to invest themselves longer in a particular country or region, the life and work of a humanitarian is vastly different than your typical 9 – 5 grind

This is the most beautiful, life changing experience I have ever had !
