Hey, I'm Xio (zee-oh).

I started my life journey in San Francisco, California. I was raised in Wisconsin with my mom. I am a world traveler and an artist. I like to have conversations with people that involve more than the three standard questions. I believe I am pretty low maintenance, easy going. I enjoy fitness, surfing, skating and snowboarding. I like to experience new things, meet interesting people and see old places.

PHILOSOPHY

"Never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it."

"I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper... I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up... I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you, to make each day count."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love Couchsurfing! I have only ever had positive experiences. I have been surfing all over the USA. Also in a couple spots around Australia.

I'm on here because I want to pay it forward to all the wonderful people that have hosted me!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I spent a year travelling around Australia by myself. I climbed Uluru, snowboarded the Australian Alps in July, camped in the outback next to wild camels, saw the Great Barrier Reef, ate shrimp on the barby for xmas, hitchhiked north Queensland, but above all, used my dreams to guide my path.
