Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Founding an International Charity!
ABOUT ME
Live Life.
I just got back from a year abroad, I bought an old Jeep and drove the Pan American Highway from the Caribou Region of British Columbia, Canada to the Costa Rican / Panamanian Border. The purpose of the trip was to donate the Jeep to an orphanage. Im now in the process of founding an international charity.
I enjoy people, I feel that when people tell Travel stories they speak of the people they meet, not the sites they saw. I like to get to know the locals, and immerse myself in the culture. Pura Vida.
PHILOSOPHY
Help others, do whats right, make a difference. I feel the key to life is hope, when your down a simple smile can make a world of difference. On my current travels I try and ensure every place I stop I find a person in need (typically a homeless person) and buy them a warm lunch. I feel everything will come full circle one day.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Im traveling right now, so I cant host but Im big on giving more than you receive. So when I get back home I will certainly be more than happy to host as many people as possible. I find the world is about Karma. As Im traveling now I always give hitch hikers a ride, as I figure it will all come back.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Was introduced to it in San Francisco by some people who hosted me without even being on CS. I then surfed my way down the west coast from San Francisco to Panama. One of the most positive experiences of my life, great people.
Interests
I enjoy relatively all things. I have done many things throughout my life. I have completed three Outward Bound courses and through these course(s) I participated in activities such as Dog Sledding, Rock Climbing, Mountaineering, Cross Country Ski Expeditions, Canoeing Expeditions, White Water Rafting, White Water Canoeing, White Water Kayaking, Ocean Kayaking, Hiking Expeditions, and tons of Volunteer Work. I also recieved my solo skydive license when I was 18, and completed the biggest bungee jump in North America on my 19th birthday. I m big on lving every day to the fullest, and having hope tomorrow will be even better than today.

Music, Movies, and Books
Tons of books. Currently re-reading an amazing book called 'Ishmael', while it sounds like a religious title, its more about the Takers and the leavers in our culture.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Driving the PanAmerican Highway, Three Outward Bounds, University, working for the beer store, Advenuters at the beach, tons too much to add.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach proper, sharing is caring, learn always. Remember that no matter what the tides can turn one day, life is cyclical, and your only one natural disaster away from being homeless, help others and always give more than you take.
