About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live and experience as much as possible!

ABOUT ME

I'm incredibly social! I love meeting new people, and trying new things. I love traveling, and experiencing as much "life" moments as possible because you only live once. I encourage all fear-challenging activities in my life, as one of my main goals in life is to expand my own horizons as much as possible. I also strongly believe in charity, philanthropy, and community.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing in this world can hold you back from accomplishing your dreams, other than yourself. It's always a CHOICE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I work with and have worked with many different amazing non-profit organizations, and socially aware companies and initiatives. I also have started a few non-profit community initiatives and continue to create opportunities for my community to get engaged in these causes and with these people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had one couch surfing experience - in Amsterdam! It was the most amazing experience, and it truly made a huge impact on my traveling. I have however hosted many surfers in my home, and love being able to help people out along thier journey. I strongly believe in passing it forward, and believe that the more you support others, the more support and happiness you'll have enter your own life. To me, it's really just a basic humanistic thing to do, so why not!?

I love music, art, culture, languages, outdoor actitivities, I'll pretty much try anything once!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cherish so many moments in my life... this is too small of a box to try to share them!!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

"This is the beginnings of the future CouchSurfing University, a school where everyone's a student and everyone's a teacher. Surfing isn't just about a place to sleep. It's about exchange. From esoteric knowledge to practical skills, you have special knowledge that others will benefit from knowing. Include one, or even a couple of items here that you might be able to share - and maybe something you want to learn! We hope that this will contribute to strengthening the quality of this wonderful community. Teach. Learn. Share. Let's do this." - CouchSurfing.

Wow. You took the words right out of my mouth, and I 100% agree. However it's hard for me to really state what I could possibly "teach" someone, because I believe there are always lessons to learn in every exchange! All I can really say is I can probably teach some basic ASL, and provide support to anyone in accomplishing their passions or dreams! I also network a lot, and never hesitate to connect like-minded individuals in hopes that it will support thier goals! You can do it! I believe!!!!
