CURRENT MISSION
To soulfully travel out of my backpack, and explore New Zealand, do some deep internal work, seek to build confidence in traveling, establishing connections, and developing a mission to pursue after my travel in New Zealand.

ABOUT ME

An adventurous, eager, personable guy who likes to engage people where they are at on a very real level. I am excited to learn new things, try out the unknown, and welcome the next step in this journey of life.

PHILOSOPHY
LOVE. Love is the most important thing. We are all connected, we are all one. We are all attempting to live in a harmonious, conscious, loving way.

“Our lives are not our own, from womb to tomb, we are bound to others, past, present and future; and by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.”

"Those who don't move, don't notice their chains."

"...to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life..."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only couched surfed a couple of times, and yet enjoyed my experiences, and looking for me transformative experiences!

Interests

I love being challenged in my perspective of life, through new experiences, places, and people. I thoroughly enjoy soccer, backpacking, camping, fire tricks, board games, cooking, food, watching thought provoking movies, reading books that open my mind to new ideas, discussing our journeys and finding the zest of life in the every day things. I want to live deliberately, engaging with others and in my times alone, wherever that is, and in whatever I am doing.
