About Me

I create a new work of art every single day since April 22, 2012. My goal is to become the best artist I can. I had couchsurfed between 2006-2012 full time. I'm still used to traveling around and meeting people, as compared to settling down somewhere.

ABOUT ME

I'm a big creative goofball. Photographer, marketer, web designer, joke-teller, adventurer....

PHILOSOPHY

LIVE! What do you like to do? Do it!
Laughter is the best everything: excercise, medicine, way to kill time, communication, etc...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For 6 years (2006-2012) I was couchsurfing 100% full time. I spread the word about CS, and have inspired many people to sign up.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started in 2006 with a visit to Utah, as a pilot-program for my trip. It was awesome! I got to take amazing pictures, see amazing places such as Arches National Park. Drove through a snowstorm (From Florida, that's a big deal), ride horses, see performances... I then went to San Fransisco, saw some performances, my 1st opera, etc... I got to learn a lot about myself and others, as the Utah couch host was into astrology, and told me so much that was so accurate- It actually changed my belief. Since then I've been CouchSurfing full time - I've been to burning man, crashed with Cage fighters, rollerderby players, snowboarded, skydived, rode on coastguard boats, fle in homemade planes, discovered black ice (ouch), and much more....

Interests

I love experiencing new things. I consider myself an adventurer. So anything new interests me. I am obsessed with becoming the best artist that I can be... So anything artsy interests me. I love science stuff, sci-fi, anything funny.... Pets - I'm totally an animal person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving, windsurfing, snowboarding, holding on to the side of a car @ 84 miles per hour while wearing rollerblades, singing on stage (When I was not qualified!), mushrooms, cliff jumping, 140mph on motorcycle, teaching, scuba diving, hang-gliding, ran a 5k.... LOTS more to come!

I've been creating a new work of art every single day since April 22, 2012.

Training for my first marathon now.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have any photography or photoshop questions- ask. I love to teach. Part of putting me up on your couch is this vast knowledge of image creation. I'm great with marketing, internet marketing, web design, etc...
