About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See as much of the world as I can and meet as many people as possible.

ABOUT ME

My friends would describe me as outgoing, dynamic, passionate, easygoing and mature.

I am an analyzer, some think I am quiet at first but once I feel comfortable I am quite outgoing. I enjoy good music, good food, and amazing company. I like being spontaneous but I am also one who likes to plan.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the change you wish to see in the world.

Don't do what others think you should dodo, do what's in your heart because at the end of the day, you are all you have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couch surfing since I was born. Originally moving from place to place with my mother at a young age, I am used to changing settings, in fact I search for change on a regular basis.

I have had many a couch surfing experience in my life but I haven't used the CS website for these adventures so I'm excited to use it finally.

Interests

I enjoy working with youth and people. I have worked for a number of nonprofits that have instilled the ideas of love for people and travel in my life. I enjoy people watching, and, in fact I wish that I could get paid for it. I love being spontaneous and going on unforeseen adventures, spending time with my friends. Music also has a strong impact on my life, as does food. I love all food, and almost all music, and I love trying new things.

I spend time normally tutoring underprivileged children or working with homeless people, or I can be found in a Latin night club or in a meeting for a new United Nations initiative.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything and everything. Too much to list. I dislike country and metal but everything else is great and I seek new music on a regular basis. Same as movies, I enjoy a good indie flick or a blockbuster thriller from time to time but documentaries are my favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. When I first moved to Honolulu, Hawaii I was walking down the beach near my apartment and saw an extremely large sea turtle sun bathing on the beach, one of the best moments of my life by far.

2. Flying from London to Istanbul before I moved to Turkey for a 16 months. Seeing Istanbul from the plane left me speechless.

Teach, Learn, Share

First and foremost I am an activist, I have experience in non-profits and campaigns as well as communications.

I am also a classically trained vocalist...anyone a piano player?

I'll try to think of other things that I can add here as time goes on.

Countries I’ve Visited

Germany, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Ukraine, United Kingdom
