About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I seek to grok and be groked.

ABOUT ME

Sometimes I travel sometimes I work other times I just hangout with family and friends. Mostly of the time you will find me smiling and laughing. I find the best is basically everything. I like to cook and explore by foot. Rafting rivers is my passion I guess you could say. Spending time in front of a computer filling out things like this is not my cup of tea. That is partly the reason I take so long to update my profile and still end up writing very little. I can sleep most places and tend not to be of a picky nature especially when I am traveling. Just so happens that is most of the time. Currently I am looking for something new and interesting to wrap my brain and body around. New Hobby ideas?

I put some dates in here because I just realized some of the info on here was out of date by like 2 years.

PHILOSOPHY

Tao may be the way. Be calm and at peace with yourself. Your life is now make it the way you want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel around sharing my stories with people I met.

So far all I have done is surfed on others couches. I do not spend much time in one place so it has been had for me to host anyone yet I would really like too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have done a limited amount of surfing throughout the time I have been a part of this site/community. Most of my surfing trips have been with friends or family. Everyone I have met has been awesome and a joy to be around.

One host who will be missed is my host from Switzerland, Nico. He was a great guy but seems to no longer have a profile on here :(

Interests

Playgrounds, Beaches, Walking around cities, Cooking, Whitewater Rafting, camping, exploring, movies, talking, going someplace enjoyable. Seeing the world through travel and by going nowhere.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love movies. Boondock Saints = best movie ever. Princess Bride and Legends of the Fall come right after. I love the interactions in Empire records. I could go on and on about movies but I got the ones that really matter. Favorite movies of 2017: Arrival, Deadpool, Rogue One and Zootopia

Not really into TV series. However I love the Avatar series, Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra is great too. Following the Marvel shows on Netflix favorite is Jessica Jones and season 2 Daredevil was cool too. Recently watched Westworld. Since I watched it all in one go and I watch that sort of stuff often I think I was less impressed. It was cool but I was thinking it would be more by what other people said.

Regina Spektor is all I really need. Cloud Cult and Andrew Bird add to the enjoyment.

I really do not read that much.
Favorite books: The Tao of Pooh, Stranger in a Strange Land and Shogun helped shape my way of thinking.
Dune is my favorite series, I read all the books old and new. Other series: Harry Potter, End Game. There is a kind of love/hate with A Song of Ice and Fire if you read them you know what I am talking about.

The Star Wars universe rocks. Until recently I never read the books. With the Clone Wars show and now Rebels plus reboot of canon story, I started reading the canon comics and books. I do often collect knowledge from Wookieepedia too.

I rarely play videogames these days but I still keep up with my adventure buddy Link in the Legend of Zelda.

Comic books rock however I have only read a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
