About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To forget everything I have ever learned and see the world for the first time...everyday. I want to do everything this life has to offer, period.

ABOUT ME

This is such a loaded question. Anyway, I like to travel above all. Why? B/C when you are in a new environment you learn new things and grow as a person, and that is what I want to do until the day I die. I like to try new food, jump out of planes and off big things, and anything that has to do with water - frozen or melted.

PHILOSOPHY

I agree with most of the teachings of Buddhism. Treat all living things with the respect that you would show your grandmother.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Come stay at my place, the door is always open. I am also looking to meet people everywhere I go that share the same view on life, which is that we should cherish it and live it to the max!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have let several people crash at my place over the years, long before I was a CS'er. I hitch-hiked my way through Alaska the summer of 2009. Best summer of my life.

Interests

Everything, except TV. Get out and live life! I like to do anything and everything that is a physical activity or mentally challenging.

Music, Movies, and Books

All music is wonderful, it is a unique expression of our human culture. With that said - Classical, Rock, Hip-Hop, Dub, and Dave Matthews to indie, EDM, and piano. Books - I read mostly informative books like how to rock climb or skydive or sail around the world. Movies - try not to watch many but- The Fountain, 180 Degree South, Braveheart, Last of the Mohicans.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked through Alaska. I met some of the most interesting and kind people of my life. Sometimes you would be out cold and a little old lady would help you stay warm and dry or a bunch of young hippies would pick you up for a 2 day long party they were heading to. Saw so many wonderful animals in their environment and spent a lot of time away from people. It was quiet and relaxing. Really helped to reshape how I viewed the human experience. It was a humbling and mind opening summer!

Teach, Learn, Share

Love. Live with Compassion for all life. Share this planet. All life is connected.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories. Life. Dinner & Drinks. Hopefully a fun experience and another unique human interaction.
