I'm currently (and finally again!) living at the beach! Unfortunately my living situation currently doesn't lend itself well to hosting. I'm working a ton right now but try to make time to kayak and surf when I can.

as much as I love going to new places and seeing things, I love meeting new people from different places. it helps with perspective and thinking to escape our culture bubbles, so I'm always up to show people around or give tips to visitors.

I used to play in a band and travel a lot. I went to school for engineering and marine biology and am currently working in construction, trying to figure out what's next while enjoying the what is. I've always loved the idea of travel as long as I can remember. I love being outside and in close proximity to the ocean.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

The more I traveled the more I found I liked meeting people from different places almost more than actually being in those places. I love gaining the new perspectives, making connections, and experiences.

"...all I could think about was how this entire notion of oneself, what we are, is just this logical structure, a place to momentarily house all the abstractions. It was a time to become conscious, to give form and coherence to the mystery, and I had been a part of that. It was a gift. Life was raging all around me and every moment was magical. I loved all the people, dealing with all the contradictory impulses - that's what I loved the most, connecting with the people. Looking back, that's all that really mattered."

Музыка, кино и книги

I really do like a wide range of music and movies. I don't read as much as I'd like but i do listen to a lot of podcasts about history and science. Sum: 40 Tales From The Afterlives is probably one of the best books I've ever read. The Dark Tower series was really good too.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I've often felt the fact that I'm still alive is amazing. I very much appreciate the value of life.

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here."

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

i know how to do a lot of stuff. and i'm good at figuring things out too. i have a very mechanical mind. i really want to work on learning more languages. i want to learn as much as i can. i really like being exposed and exposing people to new things.
