Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
is in search of my true happiness and my life's calling. Keen on exploration and to learn and experience new things all at an early age before truly entrapping myself to the societal ways- a career , a family and a mortgage.
ABOUT ME
I just turned 24 but feel as though I have the knowledge and experience of someone closer to that of 40 . I guess you can say I'm rather mature for my age, and privileged to understand a way of life while young that many might never have the opportunity to ever!.
I grew up in a beautiful city, fairly spoiled and a perfect family. My childhood aside, it wasn't until 14 that things changed. I lost my brother randomly which influenced and changed so many things in my life none more strong than the love and appreciation for my family and friends. And now more recently just last year I lost my dad too. My entire life's been pretty much rocked ever since. Life.
ON A HAPPY NOTE I still tend to always smile. Ive had some great experiences such as falling in and out of love with a beautiful girl, seen much of the world, started a business; all teaching me so much about myself. I love meeting new people and I'm all for going with the flow and simply enjoying life to the fullest.
I am a very open guy but 100% straight.
PHILOSOPHY
-Live in the moment, not in the future or the past
-Work to live, not live to work
-Invest a small bit of money young, because we have nothing but time and it goes a long way.
-Its a small world
And whatever you do, be happy
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Surfing
I first joined CS during my travels across Europe the fall of 2013. Making new friends in different cities, feeling safer while providing a stretch in my wallet....its win,win,win. I met the nicest people already, and have encountered the coolest opportunities that I could of only experienced surfing. So many great people out there.
Hosting
I haven't hosted anyone yet!! Every person that sends me an offer to stay I always feel SO bad not providing and completely reconnect to my time out there alone in a new place backpacking or traveling. I'm currently living with my parents in which space is small and is simply to hard to pull off being a host, however when the time comes I can't wait to meet new and cool people who chose to travel in my home country!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Surfed all over Europe about 8 different times.
Depending on the situation, i believe someone giving you a roof over your head is simply fantastic and generous enough. Saying that I have had many surfs where they have shown me the city, allowed me to eat their food, as well as taken me out with there friends and shown me a way to their city no one could imagine......which altogether is simply more than amazing and I am very grateful for those oppurtunities
Interests
When I am not working I love to simply relax. I sleep a lot in my off time. I find Traveling to be simply the school of life, and everyday on the road is another learning oppurtunity and chance to see the world and learn new things in a physical manner. I fantasize about that day we all think of that we will be 'rich'. I enjoy partying to an extent; being balanced with the right people in the right places. As a bartender a properly made drink is a must. I am a huge soccer fanatic and my heart falls in Parma, Barcelona, and Mancheater for futbol. I love the NFL and its football sundays. I am a giant Seattle Seahawks fan, and love placing bets on football. Back home I love fly fishing as I find it a great escape from the city life, as well as have a passion for wine and good food which come naturally to the place I live in.

Music, Movies, and Books
I havn't ever been a big reader until I started travelling, however spiritual and biography readings such as my last book 'the alchemists', or "Playing with Fire" shines light on many things i believe are important to a healthy and enriching life and are only understood via text.
Music i enjoy the most pounding in my truck as im driving with my two big subwoofers...i like it loud. Mash-ups, country,rap, rock, house, i really dont dislike much.
Movies: cheap night/half off tuesdays: a few friends, a doobie and a 5 $ flick. Best thing money can buy. Documentaries, action, thrillers I love em all
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Oktoberfest was one of the biggest and drunkest parties ive attended
Cinque Terre in Italy had to be one of the nicest places i've ever visited.
Morocco truly does have world class hash
Teach, Learn, Share
If i have learnt anything, its to value everyone you meet; whether you dislike them or not, as everyone has something to teach you. You should live life in the moment, and away from the past or the future because life is short, and if you arn't happy with things and you CAN change them, then you shouldn't complain or look forward or back but rather follow your destiny to what it is makes you happy, or afraid! Even I myself suffer from holding back occasionally; doing spontaneous things, being different. If you can help others while taking steps towards what you really think is positive in life: well I think that is being rich.
What I Can Share with Hosts
At the moment, not a lot but It's always worth to give me try because sometimes my parents are out of town, I can help with other arrangements, etc.
