CURRENT MISSION

To live life in the details

ABOUT ME

jack of all trades, master of none, but offtimes better than master of one; have a passion for the game of golf and for being outdoors; my politics are up in the air; enjoy a drink now and then; borderline outgoing with laidback tendencies; listen more than I talk but I'd much rather be moving.

PHILOSOPHY

An eternal optimist, I live in an existential world. Yoga and its religion has made profound changes in my life. Everything starts within and actions will be repaid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Been out of the loop for a while now but recently hung out with some CS friends and was reminded how awesome a community this is. Although I can't really host, I'm down for coffee or events or conversation.

Past:
Went to a blues bar. Great people, great music, salty soup.
Karaoke night: very generous judging makes me want to sing.
Shows around town: CS people are awesome and very sharable w/ tickets and events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CS for the free hotel because my passion for travel is bountiless. But I started looking at profiles and realized how positive CS is; everyone gives shining reviews and takes great pictures. We are products of our environment; it's important to surround yourself with positive people so I went to an event and ever since I look forward to CS events

I've only hosted once and it was awesome. Great experience and memorable.
