CURRENT MISSION

I truly believe..as a child and throughout my adult hood...that I can save the world and make a tremendous difference in the lives of others.

ABOUT ME

Very passionate. Deep thinker. Genuinely altruistic. Extremely nostalgic. Great sense of adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

At the age of 26...a man works 2 extra days in the hopes of making $300...at the age of 86, that same man spend $3,000 in the hopes of living 2 more days...how much is a day worth?

I live by the philosophy of rising to every morning and earning every breath I'm given.

I was in an accident early in my life...nearly died...then given back my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was at a drum circle and came across a girl, Kyra, who left her small town in PA and headed on a bus down to FL knowing no one. I offered her my home (I have always had a 2 bedroom, just so I would always have an extra room to offer) and she stayed with me for 2 weeks and I showed her around all the great spots. She told me she originally came here to stay with someone that she met through couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I go out to the beach with bubble guns and bottles of bubbles to give away. The simplicity of something like that in today's technological world is so rejuvenating to others. I've fed thousands of homeless individuals... read to hundreds of children... and have spoken/performed in front of over 28,000 people and have won 4 competitions.

Also, when the hurricanes hit down here hard and the busses weren't running...I drove around for days picking up and dropping off people who were stranded.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a gift with words. I am able to take feelings/frustrations and form them into complete thoughts. While this may seem like a trivial skill...you'd be surprised at how many people can not properly express the way they feel. In fact, many times the greatest hindrance to resolution is that we are not able to properly describe what's wrong or how we feel.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Wisdom...knowledge...laughs...stories...and a helping hand for things around the house.
