CURRENT MISSION

To live fully... to spread happiness... to keep my inner child wholly alive... to learn... and to do more than just survive... to grow... in mind... and in awe... and to daily feel the flow. Also I am working on a project to learn others philosophies.

ABOUT ME

The best way to know me is to meet me. Ask questions... I'd love to share.

PHILOSOPHY

The short answer is: I try to see as many layers of reality as possible... in every moment (I fail at this from time to time)... finding truth in all... while acknowledging the falsehoods. For example... I am a microcosm in an infinitely large universe... and yet unique, special, and capable of creating ripples in the ocean. From there I chose the path of love, kindness, acceptance, respect, compassion, and hugs. To do no harm.

I try to live deeply... truthfully... and authentically...

I try to keep the child within... alive...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently have my own place which I share with my girlfriend... we have an extra bed, a couch, and a few mattresses. These are open for travelers needing a place to crash. In June 2013... I will be vacating my place and beginning an adventure with my lovely lady... traveling the country for an undetermined period of time. So... for now... I wish to share my place... and then I hope I might be able to share others space.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only with longtime friends and acquaintances. I hope to change this soon.
