About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Places and faces. I would like to see the world with my heart, not just my eyes. I'd like to actually go in depth with different cultures, their history and getting to know people from different places.

ABOUT ME

Most people say I am friendly, but sometimes I get grumpy right after I wake up. I am fairly easy going and get along well with most people. I have never traveled by myself before, and that is mainly why I'm here to learn!

I will be graduating with a Bachelor's degree in a few months. I am currently seeking for destination(s) that has a rich culture and history. Of course, affordable as well! I guess my travel plans will depend on how much money I save up!

PHILOSOPHY

Places and faces. I believe everything happens for a reason. Try to think of the bright side of things and be positive(this may be helpful if I ever miss my flight..)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very new to couchsurfing but from the traveling I have done so far, I found not comparing where you are from or where you have been to where you are at the moment. Set different standards for different countries and places not with the only standard you are familiar with. Be appreciative to everything you have. Seeing people who are less fortunate should remind you how lucky you are; seeing people or places that are better than where you are from, then use that as a motivation to improve yourself. Traveling should brings you back to reflect on who you are.
