ABOUT ME

I'm an explorer, trying to learn as much as I can. I've both swam with the current and gone against it, and seen the beauty in both. I'm eternally curious about almost everything and have amassed far more knowledge than I can ever hope to adequately recall. I'm constantly in search of understanding our roles within this world, the work that we do to quench our spirit, the people that we invite into our lives, and what motivates us. I'm probably going to ask you all sorts of questions about what you have done in your life and how you have explored this.

I've been able to get paid to ride my bike, help build a successful business with close friends, learn how the world spins through the eyes of the dominant corporate sales environment, and find an endless amount of reasons and means to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Get out of your comfort zone. I have found that when I am in a tough situation, I usually learn the most. Life is much too short to live with regrets. And while nothing always goes as according to the plan, what you get out of it is up to you. There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spreading the word. It's amazing how many people have heard of CS but have yet to give it a try. I mean, my mom (of all people) turned me onto this while I was traveling in Eastern Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A recent rideshare passenger that I met looked familiar to me. We played the 'where do I know you from?' game with no favorable results. It wasn't until later that I realized he had sent me a CS request a week earlier when I wasn't able to host. This discovery of a chance connection was enough to bring smiles to the whole group. I think this speaks to the real community that is out there and my cs experiences so far have helped this world seem smaller and friendlier.

Interests

I'm interested in new challenges. I believe that to truly grow you need to put yourself out there. And my true passions in life are usually found in the outdoors through cycling/skiing/surfing. These are catalysts for conversation and enablers allowing us to stay in touch with ourselves.

Music, Movies, and Books

Sure seem to be going the way of the computer. I'm currently trying to figure out how it is that all three of these can be consumed and created from the same screen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being satisfied with what I have and where I am. It doesn't always happen, nor often enough, but when it's there, you're invincible.

And one time I got filmed skiing from a helicopter. Ya, that one was pretty cool.
