About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Document the great things happening in the world, travel, and educate...

ABOUT ME

I aspire to be an environmental journalist, and want to travel the world telling the stories of people and places that will help the world progress in the 21st century...

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is more revolutionary than love. Love is the greatest power in the universe. Love is more powerful than violence, more powerful than the atomic bomb. Love has the power to transform lives, to change cities and the whole world. Only love has this deep creative power

Security is an illusion, it does not exist in nature... Life is either a daring adventure ... or nothing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm currently traveling through Latin America so I'm just a surfing for a bit, when I do finally find a place to call home, I hope to continue meeting people through the CS2 Project by offering up my couch. This is a great way to meet people from cultures all over the world, and I look forward to what great pathways it may bring me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience letting someone surf was not through the site. I was on a train home from work, and guy with a large pack asked me about San Francisco, we talked for a bit and i could tell he was a nice guy, so I told him he could crash on my couch for a night. We ended up having some real good conversations, and it turned a usual weekday into a unique night, meeting a guy who had been living in Mexico and was just going through the city for one night.
