About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Practicing healthy habits both mentally and physically.

ABOUT ME

Who am I? My hometown? My job? My education? My taste of media? or what i am doing now?

I find I am capable of speaking my truth as it is this morning, yet I am in a state of self discovery.

I am living out in Olympia, Washington with beautiful people, considering the objective aspects of the world that we live in. My time here in the Pacific North West has been a wonderful contribution to growing up in Connecticut. The woods here are exciting, the conversations are intimate, and the experiences are creative. This location has been an excellent role model for my aspirations of combining politics and cooking together as a stable business model.

PHILOSOPHY

The goodness of life is based off of ones ability to follow self will without impinging on the happiness of any beings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am unable to reliably host, though it is a possibility. Let's talk.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Opened my account August 2014 and it was not a second too soon. It is the best way to travel when plans are not a priority. I greatly appreciate the variety of people I've met through couchsurfing. I find the people I met, both hosts and surfers alike, to be inspiring influences.

Couchsurfing is the way the world should run.

Interests

Literature: I consider Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse to be a fundamental catalyst for my life as is.

Hiking: Know a spot? Let's go!

Veganism: In October 2011 a series of events led me to renouncing animal products and the practice has remained since. It has been a wise guide.

Music: I don't find myself selecting songs much anymore. I prefer listening to other's playlists, a random CD spun once or twice, the eclectic variety on college/public radio shows, and going to local concerts.

Meeting People: I respect whoever I am talking to so deeply I oftentimes forget myself. Listening is the deepest experience I know.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy every song on the basis that the musicians whole life has led up to the recording. I'd like to say the same for books but life is to short to read a bad book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived out of my car for a year as I travelled the U.S.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, learn, and share are the principles of conversation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a state of calm and cook up a delicious meal.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada
