I am an ever-evolving-mix of a detached-hippy and ambitious-entreprenuer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people, I love getting to know people. To me this is 75% of the pleasure of travel.

People bring stories (Better than movies),
People bring experiences (Actual living, not a movie!!!).
People bring life lessons, advice, and just random things you didn’t know (yes, growing through lessons), and
People bring human connection
-That warm smile, that hug, those eyebrows raising, the social dance
-I could write a poem about this…should I?

==To humans
==You, which I love
==Me

Bravo, my parents would be proud.

PS: If you are requesting to stay with me, please let me know what your favorite ice cream flavor is. Mine is tiramisu (Madre Mia).

Interests

They are wide and deep. I'd like to dedicate my life to improving and serving society. I am interested in improving our systems of social accountability, in increasing my own and other's opportunities to be Entreprenuers, and in increasing our general happiness and satisfactions levels through the use of our minds as a tool.

Music, Movies, and Books

If you must know, I was a Harry Potter nerd at one point (raising my hand slowly, real slowly) lol

AND if you must know, when friends ask me for a recommendation, without a specific topic, I recommend Machiavelli's, The Prince.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a teenager, I set aside $30 USD a month (from my own work, homie), to pay for the education of another fellow teenager.

She graduated =)

This was set up by a non-profit.

What I Can Share with Hosts

It's hard for me to know EXACTLY what to share without knowing who you are yet. However, for certain, at the end of the day all I want is for us to have a pleasant time.

I can for sure share my knowledge, and probably a good conversation.
