About Me
ABOUT ME
It's hard to start talking about myself... Really all I'm interested in is that what truly matters: Interpersonal relationships. Making friends, building strong bonds, working through personal issues. I guess my missions statement is to become a better person through learning from other people and hoping others learn as well. Couchsurfing is a unique way to go about meeting likeminded individuals and offering peace, charity and comfort to those who are seeking it.
PHILOSOPHY
To Live is to Love, to Love is to be Free.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have a very busy schedule with Family, Friends and work, but couchsurfing is something i would like to get a little bit more involved it; everyone that I've met through couchsurfing has augmented my life in a positive way :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Not much, have only had 3 couch surfers, but have met lots of people through couchsurfing.
Interests
I wrote this to my younger sister recently:
Music (playing/writing/listening/going to shows)
interpersonal dialogues (meeting people, talking about relationships or philosophy or aliens or whatever))
learning/reading/watching good movies (work becomes that because i learn all the time)
writing- stories or philosophies + drawing/painting, as little as i end up doing...
hiking, playing games (sports), being in nature (snowboarding in winter, sailing in summer- i've not done enough of either in a long time)
What i'd like to do is more travelling and getting out into the world....
- writing
- literature

- reading
- traveling
- socializing

Music, Movies, and Books
Yes, Yes and Yes.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Not enough yet...
Teach, Learn, Share
Music is the healing force of the universe, and I'm proficient at guitar+bass, would like to learn wind instruments :). I'm rather well read in esoteric/spiritual/occult literature, experiences/philosophies (which can lead to either empty philosophical debate or real applicable inner changes)...
Am learning computer networking/maintenance/coding/administration stuff for work, too.
I would like to learn some practical skills, too.
