About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To love life and travel the world.

ABOUT ME

I've reached the point in life where my mission is to enjoy every single day of life. My passion is photography and I love to meet new people. I'm very laid back and easy to get along with.

I'm a positive person and I try to see the good in everything and everyone without being naive to reality. I'm happy with myself and that is the best feeling of all.

PHILOSOPHY

If not you, then who?
If not now, then when?

Everyone deserves to be happy and to be treated with compassion and respect.

Go Big or Go Home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this, but clearly the best thing I can do is to introduce others to the couch surfing way of life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are all couch surfers! As a child, the first time I visited relatives in Indiana that I had never met was the day I began couch surfing.

I've hosted friends, family, and friends of friends and I've never had anyone leave without having a good time.

Interests

Photography, Nature, History, Railroads, and people from all walks of life. I love to dance, sing kareoke, and spend time with friends, new and old.

I'm hoping to see more of what's here in America I want to travel to Canada, Europe, and Asia.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a lover of most genres of movies and music. Rock, Country, and Blues are a few favorites of mine. Movies are best when they make you laugh, cry, scream, and smile all in the same movie! I rarely take time to read books anymore, preferring the adventures of real life to the written word!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The geysers and hot springs in Yellowstone are one of the most amazing natural wonders that I've experienced.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a Masters Degree in Social Work and I am a licensed EMT, Firefighter, and HAZMAT Technician. I love to photograph people, places, and things. Most recently I've been developing my photography skills shooting modeling portfolios. My work can be seen at http://goldstarphotography.com and it tells you more about me as well.

I'd love to learn more about Tai Chi and other non-medical forms of healing and wellness.
