CURRENT MISSION

Stay present, smile, and be happy.

ABOUT ME

I think that most of my friends would say that I think almost anything is funny. They might also say that I'm constantly smiling.
Some of my closer friends would tell you that I sleep like a rock, and that when it's bed time, there's nothing in the world that can stop me. If you were close to my close friends, they would probably tell you about the time that I -â

PHILOSOPHY

I try, and try, and try, to live my life for all of the every day things. To stay present to experience those every day things. I try to appreciate rough times the way that I appreciate the good times. I'm just happy to be alive every day. And after that, the most important thing to me is to have as many good experiences, and good friends, as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can, and am just now looking into surfing for the first time.

Interests

Right now I'm really getting into traditional rock climbing. Been gradually getting into it over the past couple of years, but I'm doing a lot of small trips this summer, and hope to climb in a lot of beautiful places.
I've been getting pretty obsessed with web development using Ruby on Rails. I'm a dork by nature nature, and I really can't help loving all of the little puzzles that programming presents.
South America seems to be calling me. I think this fall I'm going to try to get myself together to ride my motorcycle down there and find a nice spot to live for a while.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen countless sunrises and sunsets, in so many wonderful places. But to be honest, some of the moments when I've been awestruck, often have something to do with some kind of personal revelation, and realizing I choice that I had forgotten I had. Choosing to discontinue school was a big one for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm a ruby on rails developer, I'm always willing to dork with people.
I'm into beer brewing.
I love rock climbing, and am all about teaching/learning more about that.

I would love to learn more Spanish (I don't know much now).
Talking to someone about their meditation habits is something I'm interested in. I feel like I've never had a proper introduction, and dont' really understand it, but that it's something that I would benefit from. Focus is not my greatest strength.
