About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live my life as I see fit and not be swayed by outside forces contrary to my happiness!!! To see various forms of life and happiness around the globe. Increasing my global awareness while creating lifelong bonds!!!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small in town in rural North Dakota, USA. Since then I have completed an engineering degree in Michigan and moved a lot while working.

Then I treated myself with an around the world adventure. WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!

Now I am in transition back into the real world or maybe if I find a way out I will take it!!!

PHILOSOPHY

That all people should live their life in a manner to achieve personal happiness that radiates to all everyone they come in contact with. Of course their happiness should never come at the expense of others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed numerous times in many different countries. I have yet to host someone mostly due to the fact I never stay anywhere too long. Definately looking forward to returning some favors. My work schedule is fairly choatic and I travel heaps, but if the timing works out I am more than happy to host.
