CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest and look to the future with eyes wide open.
I'm traveling with my girlfriend along the west coast for a couple of weeks. We are looking for new friends to show us around and immerse us in a different culture!

PHILOSOPHY

It's like the t-shirt says. Love what you do; do what you love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have never surfed using CS but I have hosted many a traveler with an old friend. I have recently relocated and have my own space to contribute! I really like hosting and I'm eager to get on the road again to surf around.

Interests

Life is an adventure, so I try to do as many things as I can. I love to camp (especially with a hammock), rock climb in the gorgeous Arkansas ozarks, cycling on a mountain or down city streets, going to a music venue full of music lovers to see a show, having drinks with friends and reading the occasional book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the Grand Canyon comes to mind. That place was awesome!
When I was in Germany, I got the chance to see Neuschwanstein castle.
Lastly, Scuba Diving along a reef in Cancun, Mexico takes the cake. It was definately a "WOW" moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know much but I can teach you how to play a couple of instruments, how to repair an airgun or firearm (mostly airguns), mix a cocktail, rock climb, or a little bit of German.
For me, I consider travel one of my passions in life. I've learned more talking with people from other areas of the U.S. and all over the world than in any classroom. I feel that experiencing life is worth much more than doing something like reading a book or going to a class. That's just me though.... Because I'm not the brightest bulb on the christmas tree.

What I Can Share with Hosts
