CURRENT MISSION

To appreciate more, to take less for granted, to live fully.

ABOUT ME

Yeahyaaah, how excited am I? Lived in Atlanta and Miami til I was 23 and fled the country as soon as I graduated university. I've lived in New Zealand up until April and loved every minute. But it was time for another move...and a job change. I got to Guadalajara in August '09 and I taught computer technology to elementary and middle school kids for a few months. And then I had this strange feeling of missing my home so I decided to move back to the states. About me...I am in constant pursuit of being a better person and helping others around me achieve their goals.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no time like the present.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted about 15 people and enjoyed the interesting conversations. Sometimes over a dinner and some drinks. Other times it's drinks and more drinks and more drinks.

I hosted peeps when I was living in Auckland, NZ. And, I surfed my way through Austria, Hungary, Romania and Prague. Awesome experiences, surfing kicks ass.
