About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Help people and explore the interconnectedness of our world. Striving to live life well

ABOUT ME

I think we get one shot on this planet to make a difference and leave it better than we found it.

I'm looking for cool experiences with cool people. Don't think you are cool enough? You probably aren't looking closely enough :)

PHILOSOPHY

Om - everyone and everything is interconnected. The good and bad. I find it hard to dislike someone once you understand their story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to foster connection with those around me.

I try to be the best person I can possibly be. I strive to "handle my shit."
