CURRENT MISSION

To travel to some of the most beautiful places in the country. This summer I plan to primarily stay in national parks while traveling to Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, South Dakota and Minnesota.

Career wise I hope to make a positive impact on the people who most need help. My primary interest is currently people with schizophrenia.

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

My strongest belief is to treat others as I want to be treated. I feel doing my very best in every moment is the most rewarding way I have lived and I push myself to do so at all times. When it comes to religion I do not follow any one specifically although I do favor Taoism, Panentheism, and Buddhism. Ultimately i believe that we all deserve to have a chance to understand each other threw putting out our truth to everyone and everything. We can all work together rather than look at differences between us. I follow the Gandhi quote "be the change you want to see in the world" i feel this is very motivating. This also helps me push myself to not see the world as wrong but rather my outlook on it and my lack of effort to change as what is wrong. I hope to one day impact the world in as positive of a way as people like Gandhi.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far i have not participated with couchsurfing.org at all. i have had friends stay with me for week or 2 periods a few times allowing them to do a sort of couchsurf. For starters i am going to be looking to be a surfer threw this site although if i am satisfied with how it all works out i see myself being a host when i get settled in somewhere again

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

other than having buddies stay at my house a few times i have not had much for couchsurfing experience. I am moving out of my current home on February 1st and plan to begin surfing possibly on friends couches initially and hopefully in Colorado or other states in the near future

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking a fiery through one of the largest fjords in Norway with 2000 foot cliffs along the side. The next day I did a long hike to get to the top of one of the cliffs to get to a wonderful overlook, unfortunately it was very foggy so the view was obstructed. Nonetheless, it was a phenomenal experience and it felt so mystical and out of this world.
