I am outgoing and adventurous. Polite and courteous. I enjoy the cultural exchange that I experience when I travel. I love experiencing new things exploring new places and I enjoy the little bit of anxiety and insecurity I feel when I'm about to try something new... Then I can appreciate the fulfillment after overcoming it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If you shake enough hands, the world is yours. I really believe that we are better people when we are able to jump across cultural boundaries. Dispel stereotypes, laugh about life, enjoy some beer diplomacy. I have met some amazing people through my travels some I would have never had the opportunity to meet had I never got off my own couch.

Interests

Wow too many to list. I am a Star Wars nerd but we don't have to talk about it. I love Rick and Morty, I often quote popular movies during conversation when it's relevant. I do enjoy reading, I read a broad range of books anything that interests me. As far as music goes, I'm all over the map. Please feel free to blow my mind with anything you think I haven't experienced. Of course Hiking, backpacking, Kayaking, rafting , Ice Cllimbing, rock climbing, Snowboarding, Skiing, Diving, Sailing, and the list can go on, and on and on...

Music, Movies, and Books

The Matrix, 20 years later, and not another movie has come close to blowing my mind.

Books:
Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe.
the Alchemist
Warrior of the Light.
Good Omens.
and really anything Sci fi or adventurous, also like a lot of the classics

Music:
I used to (and occasionally still) DJ, so my taste in music is pretty broad, some of my top favorite artists are: Coldplay, DJ Tiesto, Parov Stelar, Deadmou5 and really too many others to name. I'm also a huge fan of all 80's music (best era of music so far) and when I DJ my favorite stuff to work with is 70's Disco, for the technical challenge since a lot of it has never been remastered.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked stampede trail before they removed the bus.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been told that I am very good at inspiring people. I can help people find the inner strength or self-confidence to overcome a personal challenge. I truly believe we are all on this earth to help each other grow and be better people.

If you have closed yourself off from learning from other people, you have already lost the human race.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a broad knowledge of many things, I do like to work with my hands and I’m ok with fixing things or helping out when needed. I am by nature a problem solver.
