About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To experience life fully, not just check off items on a bucket list.

ABOUT ME
I love music.. DJing helped put me through college. I have a healthy respect for traveling so I'd like to get out to as much of the world as possible. I'm pretty laid back, I love to have complete travel experiences: fun, historical, documenting everything, fun, eating new food... and fun. Oh and rum...

PHILOSOPHY
You are who your friends are.. So I'd like to be as well-rounded as possible by meeting a lot of good people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I participate by... well... making sure your couch gets proper attention! Also by hosting people that want to visit me in California. And I'm trying to find new groups to join as well. Hit me up, I'm always up for a good conversation or meeting up for coffee or stiffer drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Slept on a couple couches in the UK/Brasil/Belize/Japan/Morocco/etc...

Interests

I love soccer (futbol), computers, sunny days, smoothies, creating, and talking to people. Did I mention I love soccer? I suspect that some CS trip to South America down the line I will end up getting my own place there and playing soccer for a few yrs. And my new found love is pool (billiards). I've gotten pretty good in case you want to challenge me :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Almost died on a crazy whitewater rafting trip... true story. I'll tell you all about it over a beer.

Teach, Learn, Share

Social media strategy, it comes easy to me. Also the gift of inspiration...
