About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Let a man burn with enough intensity and he will set fire to the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty easy going and love meeting new people especially through CouchSurfing. Traveling is my passion and I tend to go out of my way to make sure my life revolves around awesome trips.

PHILOSOPHY

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have Couch surfed all over the world and met some of the most amazing people who I still keep in touch with. It has been a truly life changing experience and I will support the project and always have a warm safe place for those in need.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Machu Picchu in Peru changed my life, it will always remain one of the top wonders my eyes have beheld.

The beaches in Normandy France and the sacrifice and show of human will and perseverance that they represent.

War most likely goes in this category, but its been anything but amazing...
