CURRENT MISSION

Growing my career and buying a house!

ABOUT ME

I will try ANYTHING at least once.

PHILOSOPHY

To sum it up in some quotes:

"The greatest risk is not taking one."

"If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with!" -The Wizard of Oz

"Your mind is always occupied on something...so it may as well be something helpful." - I Heart Huckabees

"Society, as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but Nature whose sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and sweet valleys in whose silence I may weep undisturbed. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt; she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitterness make me whole" - Oscar Wilde

"I'm afraid sometimes you'll play lonely games too, games you can't win because you'll play against you." - Dr. Seuss

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Snorkled/SCUBA'd the Great Barrier Reef so many times I can officially say I am over it, hiked an entire chain of islands, own a dingo, played soccer with MS13 Gang Members in El Salvador, seen random acts of kindness and every time its amazing!!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Sharing stories is the best way to learn. Unfortunately I suck at telling stories, but I am a damn good listener. And when I say I listen, I LISTEN! So, I'm learning it's important to be good at both.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Private Room and/or 2 couches in a shared space. Plus semi-private bath, kitchen, covered parking, and will allow 1 furry beast dependent on duration of stay.

I know it's common practice to buy dinner or a 6 pack for your host, however - I am asking for a DONATION (of whatever you think my hosting/accommodations are worth!).

I'm scrapping money together for a down payment on a house (yay! I'm so grown up!!) So - my private room/bath is posted on Air BnB for $75; couches for $40. But, since I am/was an Couch Surfer, I wanted to open up my couches, extra room, bed to fellow travelers for a donation of your choosing.
