About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Peace and Love

ABOUT ME

I'm here on this world to make the best out of it. I figure I need to be happy, challenge everything, appreciate new experiences, and be as honest and real as I possibly can.

So what am I into? Anything green, real authentic friendships, snowboarding, and I definitely have the traveling bug.

I am currently going back to grad school and going through a new discovery phase. I'm actually volunteering in several organizations in So Cal, especially in the solar industry. I'm finding all the cliches to be true: it really does feel amazing and I'm inspired everyday I volunteer.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace and much love. Those are the words that I have been living my life by. A little peace and some love is all we need to solve the worlds problems.

Be true to yourself and own your actions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My life is currently in transition: moving, traveling, studying and moving back home. Unfortunately, I can't host people right now but I do share the great CS philosophy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Went on a 20 day soul searching trip through Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Austria. At first, I was terrified at the idea of staying on strangers couches, but it was the best part of the trip.

I not only met, but connected, with several people who truly made the days memorable.
