About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Create astounding memories with people from all over the world

ABOUT ME

I'm new to the traveling scene. I have been going to school and working straight for the past 6 years and now its time to experience the world, or at least the parts I'm going to.

I love film, music, arts, great food, literature, etc. Who doesn't?

Grew up by Lake Tahoe snowboarding and so have a great passion for extreme sports.

PHILOSOPHY

Persist until you succeed. There is so much to see in the world and do, that you can't be subdued by work all the time. I live my life to open my eyes to the mysteries of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I'm traveling and will be back in San Diego in August. Will be more than happy to host a couch when I get back.

Interests

Having conversations about things that matter, with people who care.

I love snowboarding, sky diving, hiking, basically any extreme sport

I'm fascinated by psychology, philosophy, physics, religion, politics and love to converse all of these with anyone willing to exchange in intelligent banter.

I love traveling the most!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From a traveling standpoint, I haven't really done anything spectacular. The only thing that comes to mind is skydiving..

Although I do tend to be a great story teller, which once you meet me you'll soon find out.
