CURRENT MISSION

In a nutshell - to meet new places and see new people. There are seemingly endless places to explore, senses to be stimulated, stories to be told and heard, and lessons learned.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the Garden state (NJ) circa 1987. Early passions included cycling and hockey. Both of which I'm still very passionate about to this very day (go Devils!!). I have always been fond of the seasons - all four of them. They each have something unique to offer. I have always been a very hands-on d.i.y. type person. I suppose I get most of that from my father, a mechanic of 25+ years and all around handyman extraordinaire.
My family moved from NJ down to Florida in 2001 to be closer to other family members. I wasn't entirely supportive in this decision, but I didn't have much say. I have been living in FL ever since, and have sort of a love/hate relationship with the state. I love it for the cultural melting pot that it is. The people (most of) that live there. But other than that, it's just plain HOT. No two ways about it, just HOT, lol! It has opened my eyes to a lot, put me in situations - where living in another state - I would have not experienced.
I am at a point in my life right now where I have a yearning to get out there and explore! See the different sights, hear the vast sounds, smell all there is to smell, taste the many flavors of the world, and feel its homely touch.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is very much like brewing alcohol. Thoughts, experiences, teachings, bonds are collected and analyzed and they ferment. As any artisan brewer will tell you, you can't turn grapes to wine overnight. We are constantly experiencing new things - both good and bad, uplifting and trying. Each day we learn new things, have deeper conversations, be it with friends, family, or even the self, and this culmination of these *things* and the application that you give - them that is the fermentation process, the aging, the changing of the status quo, life..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had some great spur of the moment couch surfing experiences.

Interests

I love the outdoors! Any season and any terrain. I absolutely whole heartedly love the great sport of hockey, and will play until there is no longer life in my body! I love things that get my adrenaline flowing, and believe me, there are a vast array of ways to make that happen!
I am very fond of music, although I lack any musical ability of my own. What a wonderful feeling it is when you hear that tune you love and your body responds with a set of musical chills. For the most part I enjoy listening to it all.. just, uh, none of that country stuff (save, the man in black)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many.. It seems as each day brings forth new and exciting experiences. Realizing the true wonder that is all around us, it is not hard to have your mind blown each and every day

Teach, Learn, Share

Through time we all acquire different bits and pieces of knowledge, abilities, wisdom... this is all collective as we are all together here on this planet as one human race. It is a wonderful thing to share this knowledge and collected experiences with others, be they people passionate about the same things you are as well as those passionate about unfamiliar things.. It is the ability to tape into this shared collective knowledge that is wonderful and awe inspiring. ANd it is people that feel similarly who I am excited to meet!
