CURRENT MISSION

Honesty is the easiest route between two individuals

ABOUT ME

I currently am a digital nomad living in Athens, Greece. Χαίρετε!

I have had incredible experiences with Couchsurfing that I will remember for the rest of my life. The people I’ve met and the stories I’ve heard have humbled me and shaped my perspective of the world.

I am very open-minded about a lot of different things. I love keeping up with current events and am always trying to read more books. Music is also a big part of my life. Learning about other cultures fascinates me, as does a wide variety of cervezas. ;-)

Libations + good conversation + good company = a recipe for success.

PHILOSOPHY

"And once you live a good story, you get a taste for a kind of meaning in life, and you can't go back to being normal; you can't go back to meaningless scenes stitched together by the forgettable thread of wasted time."
-Donald Miller, "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years"

"Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding."
- Bill Bullard

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am using Couchsurfing as a way to make new friends while I travel. I love meeting people from all walks of life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Israel, Turkey and England, and have met up with couchsurfers in most of the other countries I have traveled to!

Interests

Music has to go at the top of this list, I love it in pretty much any way it's given to me.

FOOD. I am not picky when it comes to food. I love to eat and am usually always hungry.

Hiking, kayaking, camel-back riding, strong coffee.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lying in a hammock on a boat in the middle of the Amazon River; watching the sun as it sets on the horizon, while a thunderstorm rolled in over the rainforest on the opposite side. And the STARS.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am no sensei in the Art of Life, but I love having conversations and exchanging ideas. That's how even better ideas come to be.
