About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I gotta be that guy I imagined I'd be as a kid. Adventurous. Bold. Spontaneous and Alive.

ABOUT ME

Ah man. I'm just absolutely all about anything. I've lived as an actor, a musician, a painter, a rock band singer, a modern ballet performer... and there's just so much more to still absorb. I love the unity of humanity. Got to get some more.

PHILOSOPHY

It's all good my friends. I trust that YOU make the best decisions for YOU. And hell, I'll probably even support you in it. I know a lot. Cuz I keep my eyes wide open. But I also realize it could all change at a moment, and I'm ready to ride the wave of any new realization. If you're along for the swell, then all the more enjoyable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch is a wide open space for anyone on a journey. I know I am. I also will show anyone around my city anytime. Half the time I stumble across a new gem of Dallas I hope to meet a new friend and take them to experience it as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Started in Amsterdam and it was life changing. Moved all around Europe and am currently working at the "No Worries Villa" in Barcelona, Spain after landing here in May as a couch surfer. All of the most inspiring and adventurous people I've met in life have been fellow surfers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived with a jungle fishing tribe in the heart of Panama. They painted invisible juice extracted from berries in a secret jungle grove onto my body which dried into the most beautiful navy henna artwork I'd ever seen. Came home with it still a deep hue to my job as a lifeguard. The swim-class kids were tres impressed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love yoga. Studied bikrihm for a couple of years. Always happy to teach/engage in a few postures w/ friends.
I'm a painter. I always try to get some canvas painted for anyone who I'm surfing long enough with to create a piece to leave behind.
Reading. Book trade has been one of my FAVORITE parts of traveling around. I've been introduced to some really fantastic authors.
