ABOUT ME
I am beginning a new chapter in my life after having had some tremendous personal growth experiences in the last few years. I am always there for my friends and help out and contribute in any way I can. I have met some incredible people in the last few years and want to meet more. I am never at a loss for things to say and I can intelligently contribute on most any topic, though I love to listen to others tell of their adventures as well.
PHILOSOPHY
This is not a practice life, this is all you get, don't blow it
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosting surfers and occasionally borrowing a couch from someone else.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
The vast majority of my CS experiences so far have been positive. Only one batshit crazy person so far and that wasn't even that bad. I have a lot of experience with crazy people.
Interests
I love when my life is ticking in tune and the synchronicities are piling up. I love meeting new and interesting people. I love hanging out with my 8 year old son, he is the coolest person I know. I love learning new things and new skills and teaching them. I love exploring and experiencing new places. People who are living their passion inspire me.
Music, Movies, and Books
The Alchemist, Island and Stranger in a Strange Land are three of my favorite novels. My book shelf is filled with mostly non-fiction.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My top three moments so far?
The birth of my son.
Saving a man's life while 100 other people stood by and did nothing.
Joining an America University class in Washington and getting access to parts of the city the public normally doesn't get access to. There is way more to the story than this, ask me...
Teach, Learn, Share
I am an informal student of human behavior. I get asked for dating advice a lot.
