About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world, to meet people that think differently then me and to enjoy my life to it's fullest.

ABOUT ME

I was born around dinner time on a warm sunny day in June. I grew up into a little boy who loved dirt, and bugs in dirt. I wanted to know every thing there was to know about everything! I wanted to be... a scientist. Then came middle school where I wanted to be a pro rock-climber(ha ha ha). Then high school quickly approached, I studied hard, but I studied shortcuts and dead ends. So now, years later I have traveled the United states quite extensively and really want to learn the arts of sailing a lot better and to travel the world while doing it.

PHILOSOPHY

Simplicity, Love, Respect for others and yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I Participate in the Couch Surfing advancement, by traveling to far away lands, and dangerous regions of the world. Experiencing the cultures and the history. I travel stretches of wilderness and of cities. I bring these places to the people that I meet, and to the homes that I stay in through great stories by writing and by means of old fashion conversation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've meet a lot of people that have used CS.
But I so far have only knocked on strangers doors.

Interests

I Love Sailing
I Love conversing with friends and strangers
I enjoy "dangerous" things... trying to catch a wild horse, petting wild bison, cliff jumping, buildering, swimming with sharks, talking to women, anything to get the blood flowing.

I love trying new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

would be "the princes bride", "count of monté cristo", as well as Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks movies.

I enjoy any musically talented artists.

Then there are books; I'm in a love hate relationship with books right now so I'd rather not talk about it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cedar campus: Woke up in "Da U.P." of Michigan.
It's early out, still, peaceful; the dew dappens my socks as I walk to the shore. The dreaming birds are snug in their nests, the little beasts still fast asleep. I take my place on an oversized stone birthed from the earth;
I sit there for a few minutes waiting for the sun to greet me once again, its soft rays begins to sweep across the skies and crash upon me. The clouds sweeping the the horizon not unlike the milk in my coffee, floating across the heavens, getting lost in the rolling smoke, that drifts from the where the fire bellowed late into the night. The lake has left and in it's place is a mosaic of the fragrant pine trees that surround the point beyond.

A small family of deer drift by, grazing and keeping watch; a family of mallards swim along, rattling the forest with their surge. The songs begin the chirps, grunts, croaks and howls. The day is growing older now, just born and eyes are wide open.

This moment will stay with me for a long time and will always be one of my favorite memories of all times.

Teach, Learn, Share

The knowledge of cooking strikes me first; however I want to learn much more (because I don't eat what I make too often (por y es no bueno)).

I know swimming and sailing pretty well; and I know almost too much about water.

I know a bit about blacksmithing, woodworking, and gardening too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pleasant conversation; a cooking companion; stories; some laughs perhaps; and that's about all I'm useful for unless you want advice on how to swim
