About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world with my own eyes!

ABOUT ME

I'm your typical laid back californian. Grew up on a farm when I was a kid, moved to the big city as an adult. I joined the Navy after high school to see the world and get a free education. I finished my term in 07 and took three months traveling Europe. That's where I got my first experience couch surfing. I'm pursuing a career in firefighting, just finishing my degree and medical courses. I'm taking a well deserved holiday before returning home to start. I love meeting people from all around the world and getting to experience their way of life. When I settle down again I plan to open my home to fellow travelers and adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take life too seriously, You'll never get out alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couch surfed across Europe back in 07. I met a lot of unique individuals I would never have had the opportunity to meet if I did the typical hotel stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met Phillygroove in Amsterdam that suggested Couchsurfing. Couchsurfed a few times after that then went back home to finish school.

Interests

The great outdoors from hikes, swimming, kayaking, boating, diving, and fishing. I love taking photo's and doing photo design art. I've grown up with hunting and enjoy catching my own food. I just finished my degree in Firefighting and plan to pursue a career when I return home.
