CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life in its many moments and to give back with what I have to offer.

ABOUT ME

I am currently finishing my graduate degree in Transformational Urban Leadership and I desire to become actively involved in the community development field.

I tend to be a very friendly, positive individual. I love learning and am generally eager to help. While I'm not naturally spontaneous, I can go with the flow and love seeing new places, having new experiences, and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to see how I can become more involved in the global community, and to eventually host and be hosted by people from all over.
