ABOUT ME

balance of work/productivity and play/fun. Food is delicious, sleep is heavenly, people are life. I desire a broader environment for the practice of life, this means developing what i know and engaging the world in deliberate and curious confusion. for many reasons i wish to someday live abroad for a time. I am easy and calm/exuberant. make bad word jokes and dig iced cream.
sing ride of the valkyries when lifting off and landing. the here and now?

PHILOSOPHY

to accept the moment and appreciate it, to be healthy and pass it on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My parents have hosted a number of students from asia and i thoroughly enjoy the experience of those people, also my parents are now the a couple of the best cooks i know. hosting interesting folks from around the planet and then in turn traveling to meet them. sharing someones life for a short time is super cool, not having to pay for hostels is empowering for those who wish not reach a high budget for an adventure.

ive hosted four or five surfers, good times. and have surfed the couches abroad with enjoyable people.
