CURRENT MISSION

California or bust!

ABOUT ME

I am your typical calm and assertive but commitment shy alpha male. I enjoy the company of crazy people. It takes all kinds and I am pretty accepting of everyone. I love to have a good time and party. When I want to unwind I often find myself out in the woods climbing some mountain. The only thing I love as much as nature and the outdoors is music and most of the arts. My hobbies include playing my congas, photography, music and mostly live music, love going to festys!, hiking, camping, backpacking, my home theater system lol... I live for salsa, and love taking road trips.

I am really tired of the typical uptight east coast attitudes... too many rude inconsiderate people for my taste. I have decided to take some time off and travel a bit before I relocate on the west coast. Looking forward to meeting new and interesting people from all over . I want to explore cali before deciding on relocating anywhere.

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day as if it were your last...Always in the persuit of gaining new knowledge and insight on life. Smile and people will smile back!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just getting started, attended my first event and spending time with other CS'ers. I have recently packed my bags to head to California to explore the culture and lifestyles there. Until I relocate, all I can offer is to share some of my own unique life experiences in exchange for the same from any gracious host willing to spend time. I would love to share my cross country tour with another CS'er who has same wanderlust and sense of adventure and love of travel as myself. I am looking forward to inviting other surfers to my home to share their experiences once I am settled.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am still pretty new to the CS Project. I am already hooked from the few experiences I have had so far. Attended my first event and met some great people. Got to show another surfer around a couple of my favorite places to hike in NY for one weekend. I am pretty excited now with the possibility of meeting many more cool people over then next few months while I drive cross country.
