About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to observe, to learn, to show, to teach, to see, to believe, to understand, to be.

ABOUT ME

Curious about it all.

PHILOSOPHY

" none of us are as smart as all of us. "?, "its better to deserve something in which you don't recieve, than to recieve that in which you don't deserve" Twain. , "If your going to do something stupid. Be smart about it!" My parents.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have yet to bring surfers into my home, ( but not from lack of trying !) I have surfed only twice, once in the British Virgin Islands, once in Bangkok. Great stories blossomed from both experiences!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As a skateboard addict, my method was rudimentary, basically the method was to roll into a new city with freinds and just skate the streets and local community skateparks and eventually we would just meet someone, and if we hit it off with them it was accompanied with the invitaion to stay with them. Now with couch surfing its been another form of breaking down barriers and expanding through the streets. Finally, my new life can afford more room for CS.

Interests

More than less. I'll answer by plagerizing a particular songwriter. "I love everything more than anything" Do you know this person based off this line? :)

  • surfing
  • scuba diving
  • skateboarding

Music, Movies, and Books

Soooooooooo many movies, music, and books. But in listing them, would comprise of classics, spaghetti westerns, foriegn films for sure, documentaries stand unparalleled, anything Wes Anderson and most Tarantino, a special emphasis on Kids films, claymation and animated features. Music... its everything, but with the exception to the rule being boy band bull and dubstep, sorry but I'm not "about the drop"! Reading merits many rewards so you can't go wrong there, i leaned with gravitation towards non-fiction but break the habit every so often, though i could read 100 Years of Solitude by Geal Garcia Marquez and The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran more than popes interpret scripture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ummm…lived in Thailand for 3 months, so that was cool!

Cuba for 5 days with 3 dollars!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not to talented as it were, i could bring you scuba diving but thats about it unless your interested in learning how to skateboard, but thats more philosophy than instruction! to teach would be to just express my self, my opinions, my experiences. To offer perspective. Things i would like to learn range the collective expereince, if can/will teach i'll try to learn. My dream job would be to build hand crafted boats on the Mediterranian Sea.
