CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to learn from every moment while enhancing my life and others along the way.

ABOUT ME

I love to experience different cultures and provide anything positive to this planet and the people. I enjoy all things of nature and outdoor activities. I am a musician and artist. I often have environmental and humanitarian projects active in my life, so don't be surprised if I ask if you want to go clean a river or feed hungry people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the vast adventure of healing oneself and those around us simply by being a compassionate, caring individual with interests in our fellow brothers and sisters...and to have fun along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I use couch surfing to make connections. I often travel, and this website helps me meet new interesting folk from around the planet. I sometimes plant roots, and when that happens, I open my space for visitors.
