About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Berkeley student whose main purpose in life is to travel the world and marry Selena Gomez

ABOUT ME

I've always had a passion for traveling and learning about other cultures which is part of the reason why I enjoy picking up new languages in order to better understand them. In the fall of 2013, I was fortunate enough to study abroad in Paris for five months and the cultural exchange I experienced as well as the friendships I forged was incredible. While I'm a very grounded and goal driven individual, I also know when to relax, wind down, and have a good time with friends and family, creating adventures along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

You CAN have your cake and eat it too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The reason for forming part of the couchsurfing community is to further branch out and interact with people from all around the world both as a traveler visiting new countries as well as a host. What makes this platform more unique is that you are able to get an insider perspective on any given city (top locations, general travel tips, as well as future friends right off the bat).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While I haven't formally utilized couchsurfing in the past, I have hosted and have been hosted in the past specially while I lived in Paris. Friends stayed with me as they visited France and I stayed with them as I explored Europe. One of the most rewarding parts of traveling, in my opinion, is being able to reconnect with old friends.

Interests

Watching movies, going out, a good book, long walks as I enjoy my surroundings, drinking games.

Music: Anything ranging from hip hop to rock and even a bit of country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While perhaps not as impressive in the eyes of the seasoned couchsurfing traveler, I visited 12 european countries and lived in what I consider one of the most beautiful cities in the world (Paris) over the lapse of five months.
