CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life & have new amazing experiences and connections with people.

ABOUT ME

My name is Ciel (C-L) I am fun loving, friendly and also can be a bit of a loner. Many of the activities I enjoy are solitary pursuits, yet I am a people person.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that life is meant to be lived. It can change in an instant, so I do my best to enjoy each day to the fullest. Whether that be the drudgery of organizing my taxes, or getting out on a sunny day for a bike ride and a hike. I am grateful for all that I have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIE

I think it is an interesting way to meet people and it seems like a good opportunity to try something new and to break out of my comfort zone. All the interesting experiences happen there anyway! I am keen to meet fellow adventurers and people who would couch surf and host seem to be the open-minded fun people I like to associate with!

Hiking, biking, running, cooking vegan food, workout out in the gym, yoga, nutrition, kayaking, reading, real estate investment, travel, learning new languages, meeting new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I loved Gone Girl & Queen of the South was another good one. Now that I have a Kindle, it seems that I can never remember the names of any of the books that I am reading. I like many types of music, hip hop really gets me moving, I like chill lounge, country, 70s rock, the only music I can think of that I don't really listen to is Opera, though I don't dislike it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have sailed the Greek Islands twice, which is quite amazing to me as I have an irrational fear of water and I won't go swimming in the ocean or a lake, it was just me and one other person who did know how to sail. We had the worst storms in 5 years and it was pretty frightening but I survived and went back a second time.

I was caught in a 5 hour cartel gun battle in Mexico. This is something I don't ever want to relive, though I don't mind telling the story!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to help people learn about veganism and what that entails and how it can be an easy and gradual shift but I am not preachy. If you are interested only :)
