CURRENT MISSION

My mission for the next year or more is to travel from Mexico to Patagonia, surf, learn Spanish, meet people, challenge myself and grow as a human.

ABOUT ME
In the United States I live in my camper van. I work as a wilderness instructor with troubled youth in Utah near Zion NP. We take them out backpacking to learn more about themselves and in turn I've learned and grown a lot myself.
PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is that life is ever changing and my purpose is to learn and grow enough to change with it. I believe that Mother Earth is in danger of irreparable environmental loss and it is our responsibility to do something about it. Love and connection with others is what inspires me to do more and be more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people in new places and exchange stories, share laughs and new experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Old school funk and electronic to dance to. Papadosio and lotus are two bands I like. Heartless bastards for singing in the shower. I love a wide range of music and to switch it up and listen to new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hiked over 30 miles on a ridge from one side of a mountain chain to the other traversing the entire range.

Teach, Learn, Share

Working as a wilderness therapy instructor I've learned a lot about counseling others. Some things I've learned are; how to read people and adapt to what they need, how to listen and be completely in the present, holding space for others to be themselves without trying to change them, how to let go of little things that don't matter! Going with the flow of live instead of against it, listening to my heart and what I need, love yourself and that love will flow out to those around us.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughter, no expectations, and a 'go with the flow' mindset.
