CURRENT MISSION

I'm a culture sponge

ABOUT ME

I am a conscious human being always trying to gain more enlightenment and awareness, and I find that meeting people outside of my culture is a great way to do that. I am an active person and I enjoy all things outdoors, I enjoy cooking, animals, music!, traveling, and many other interests...

PHILOSOPHY

"You just gotta want it"

It's about the journey, not the destination"

"Happiness is best when shared"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am open to couchsurfers coming to visit if my schedule permits!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had couchsurfers stay at my house several times and showed them around, gone surfing, and had great conversations. Friends have been made along the way and I hope to continue this trend.

Interests

Knowledge (Reading, conversation, music, etc...)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a little bit of anything and everything, although I grew up listening and playing rock music, I now listen and play anything I can get my hands on. I have played Sitar, darbuka in a Middle East Ensemble, and I currently play gamelan music, tabla (indian drums), guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, banjo, ukulele, harmonica, kalimba, slide guitar, and there is probably more....

It is hard to list movies without always thinking like you are missing so many, so I'll just name a few.
Wes Anderson movies,
Lord of the Rings
Christopher Guest movies
Pineapple Express
Music Movies
Documentaries
Surf movies
All the classics
foreign films

I have read a good number of books, but I still need to read a lot more, Jack Kerouac really influenced me, as did so many others. Please recommend me some good reads!
