About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I like meeting interesting, positive energy people. I enjoy hearing about experiences and making my own.

ABOUT ME

I have a positive outlook on life and I enjoy moving around and doing things, meeting people and seeing new things every day.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat other people the way you want to be treated. -- Never cease to be amazed. -- The only disability in life is a bad attitude. -- Everything always works out for the best. :) I'm an optimistic fatalist, a secular humanist and a hedonist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to be a part of this. I just joined this site at the suggestion of my very close, couchsurf-hosting friend and neighbor. I love to travel and meet other travelers. If I'm not on the road this seems like an excellent alternative. I've been a fireman here in New Orleans since 2007 and I spent the last 3 years driving a taxi on the side so I'm pretty keen on knowing how to find whatever you're looking for. If you have have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None through this site yet.

Interests

I'm an adrenaline junkie and a beauty seeker. Beauty can be found in something as small as a pattern in the soil or as vast as the ocean or night sky. I like challenges and I enjoy physical activity and sweating. :) I also like being in or on the water.

  • beauty
  • traveling
  • socializing

Music, Movies, and Books

Goodness, so so many.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh man, this will take some time. Telling these stories takes inspiration and energy and I will record them when I'm good and ready. :) Besides, all stories are better when told by the animated storyteller who experienced them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to practice speaking spanish as much as possible. If spanish is your first language you are very, very welcome here.
