CURRENT MISSION

Never say "no" to all that life throws at you.

ABOUT ME

Laid-back, yet spontaneous adventurist seeking individuals that don't like to exactly stick to a routine and aren't afraid to fumble and meet new people along the way.

We were all told as kids, "Don't talk to strangers." If you are one of those people that believes that is bullshit and wants to to meet up, chat me up.

Hobbies: Water-skiing, rock climbing, swimming, camping, marketing, photography, music, and travel.

PHILOSOPHY

You can't say no to life and sometimes you just have to take risks without knowing the outcome ahead of time. Sometimes we fall, sometimes we rise to the top, but same with the lottery.... You can't win if you don't play. Do the spontaneous. Introduce yourself to strangers. You never know where these moments of impact will take you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a safe place for world travelers as I can and offer up some of the greatest that my city has to offer. I'd just like the same from fellow surfers as I am in my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am pleasantly surprised by what CouchSurfing has been able to show me. Originally, the concept of letting some random stranger into my home and into my life was a rather odd concept to grasp onto. After deciding to take a leap and get involved, I truly found some of the most genuine people out there. I now look forward to surfing for many years to come.
