About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Is to never forget that: “Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember.”

ABOUT ME

Love traveling and meeting new folks. Left the financial corporate rat race 4 years ago as a 34th birthday present to myself. I've been wandering the earth since. I can also talk like Donald Duck!

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody Dies... But Not Everybody Lives!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been unofficially couchsurfing my whole life. Including DBI (days before internet). I think hosting and surfing is a terrific way to meet like minded people. All my CS experiences to date have been amazing!

Enjoy all music but partial to country western music! Recent books I've read include: The Alchemist, The Power Of Now, Blink, The 5 People You Meet In Heaven. My favorite movies include: Old School, Big Fish, Shrek, Waking Ned Devine, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Outlaw Josey Wales, A River Runs Through It, Hoosiers and Dodgeball.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Extra on the TV show NYPD Blue. Trekked the highest pass in the world in Nepal. (But not at the same time!)

Reasonably good at financial stuff but much prefer doing magic and wandering!
