About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To let go of all plans and just go.

Life has been too comfortable and has lacked excitement as of recently and I feel it is high time to shake things up and have some real courage. I've let go of all of my possessions and have only what I have on my motorcycle. I don't really know what I am looking for, but as my dad recently said, "I've lost my way". I think its high time I regain it.

ABOUT ME

My aim is to be gentle and kind in this world. The world is full of varying levels of aggression, and I hope to in a subtle way to help bring about an inner peace, gentleness and excitement for life in everyone I meet.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live this life once (I think.. ) , so do what you want, when you want. Who cares. Do your best to understand the relationship between you and all of life, and so, treat all living things as you wish to be treated; with respect and without judgement.

"Don't just say things" - Angela (The Office)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had the good fortune of sharing many experiences on couch surfing both as a host and a surfer. Many of which have taken up a lasting residency in my heart. I look to give back what I've been given as well as share with those who will have me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had numerous experiences with couch surfing. Both in the U.S. and in Europe. All of which have been fantastic to say the least. I am increasingly grateful for having the experiences I've had through this website.

Teach, Learn, Share

In life, I feel that it is of the utmost importance to try new things. Whether it is food, music, or the place you live, trying out something you havnt before is the only thing that will open up your mind to new and exciting experiences. Don't stay stuck in your comfort zone. The longer you are there, the more likely you will stay there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Open ears and good genuine conversation.
