ABOUT ME

I am laid back yet very competitive. I love to TRAVEL!!!! I watch sports on TV but I love to hike and explore.

PHILOSOPHY

You get out of life what you put into it...

"If you have castles in the air,
your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be,
Now put foundations under them." -- Thoreau

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to share my extra room for a few nights.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Years ago I hosted in my home town of Florida. Then, Couchsurfing helped me make it from Florida to Eugene, Oregon four and a half years on an epic road trip. Some awesome people hosted me - now I have time and a decent space to host again myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. It goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride...” we kill those people. "shut him up, we have a lot invested in this ride, shut him up. look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account and my family, this has to be real". We always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because... it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy bigger guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense and bullshit each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would do many times over - not one human being excluded - and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace". -Bill Hicks (December 16, 1961 – February 26, 1994)
