Overview
About Me
If I'm really seeing it correctly then I am playing the part of a human being pretending to have many various interconnected roles; some being played out right now, others already gone, whilst most others are yet to be...and this keeps me interested and thus enthusiastically excited!
Currently I am a father, a husband, a friend, a student, and a teacher.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I used Couchsurfing during a 2 month trip and it led to so many incredible experiences. I am a proud supporter!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In 2009 I travelled from my home to Mexico City over the course of 2 months. The trip was without a plan or destination, just a direction and a mantra. I ended up hitchhiking, busing, couch surfing, and walking over 2,000 km down the west coast of America. I meant countless wonderful people and was left with an experience I will never forget.
Teach, Learn, Share
Don't criticize what you don't understand..
..nothing can be understood, it can only be experienced..
..thus, careful what you criticize.
We, humans, are dealing with something incredibly interesting and abstract - an urge to create and improve which has led us to believe that there is a problem outside of our Self - something seems not right and needs to be corrected.
And so we search so intently for what is wrong and how it can be fixed...all the while missing the entire miraculous show of life and the eternal beauty that is in front of us.
