About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Re-imagine your perceptions of life.

ABOUT ME

My goal before I expire is to experience as much as I can. I always crave to travel to the exotic, forgotten, and wild reaches of the planet. I'm an aspiring writer who wants to feed this starving world with peace and prosperity.

PHILOSOPHY

As I age I no longer jump to conclusions, I let my opinions be formed as I spend more time with people. I treat everyone with respect who truly deserves it. Nothing can be taken for granted in this life of endless possibility.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would always love to host, but my forte is couchsurfing. I always try to offer great company and never take what any host gives for granted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was filled with the nervous insecurities of someone not adapted to travel, but as I progress through life I find that there is almost always a caring host just around the corner.

Interests

My passions are painting and writing, albeit I do not spend as much time on these as I wish. The great outdoors is where I belong and hiking, biking, or even a short walk through the woods sparks is enjoyable to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Stranger, 1984, Trainspotting, Fight Club, Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, (the list goes on and on)
Movies- Baader Meinhoff Complex, Requiem For A Dream, Sound Of Noise, Pi, Time Bandits (goofy or intellectual movies)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just going to see the Rocky Mountains was worth more than any amount of gold or diamonds. Hiking all through Rocky Mountain National Park and up Saint Mary's Glacier is a memory I would refuse to trade for all the riches in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not too intelligent or wise, but I'm always ready to have deep conversations about the nature of the universe. I'm on Couchsurfing to learn about the cultures, languages, and habits of all the different types of people on planet Earth.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can't usually host (my roommate does though), but I'm always down to grab a drink and show a couchsurfer around the city of Denver.

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Peru, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
