About Me

CURRENT MISSION

TO DO EVERYTHING!

ABOUT ME

On those lucky days, I'm able to lose myself in all the creativity my erratic brain has to offer. Other days, I'm stuck in a sleepless reverie, desperate and searching for something meaningful. In those moments, I want to get lost - not only in my head, but everywhere and anywhere. Besides, when we can go anywhere, why don't we?

PHILOSOPHY

It’s sad that the air is the only thing we share.
No matter how close we get to each other,
there is always air between us.

It’s also nice that we share the air,
No matter how far apart we are
the air links us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Once I get my own place, I want to host, but as of now, I'm meeting friends around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In this past year, I've slept in huts, hostels, on couches, and on dirt. I communicated with strangers who didn't understand my language. I fell in love with people I'll never truly understand.

I've learned to step in all the puddles in the city.

Interests

I'm in love with creation, whether it's the creation of film, art, music, or memories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every moment of travel leaves me awestruck :)

Some highlights though...
Fighting Muay Thai professionally in Pattaya, Thailand.
Dancing and doing gymnastics off of used tires in Tanzania.
Training Judo with the guards inside Japan's Imperial Palace.
Filming with the children in the slums of Kibera.

oh, and food!
Eating some of the finest quality caviar alongside unquantifiable amounts of vodka in St. Petersburg.
Eating a live squid in Hokkaido, Japan.
Biting into a deep-fried water beetle in Thailand...

I write a lot of these adventures in my blog thefightinglife.com if any one is interested!
