Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Living the life of my dreams and inspiring others to do so.
ABOUT ME
My passion is skydiving and contributing to others and they fit perfectly!
As an instructor i get to help people push through their boundaries of fear. It is intense but there is an instant reward with skydiving so you get to experience both extremes together...it's a rush. If you go solo you get to control your mind and body in a whole new environment. Either way everyone takes this experience into the rest of their lives! Thats what i love!!!!
PHILOSOPHY
I once heard that the you can measure the quality of your life by the amount of uncertainty you can comfortably live with - i am testing out this theory and it feels great.
I see myself and other human beings as one - our basic needs and desires are the same - we all need food shelter to be loved and to love someone, to be understood and appreciated. I aim to be humble and compassionate in all my actions.
I think we all need to tread lightly on this beautiful planet of ours and love our fellow man.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy meeting people who are exploring life, who have a passion for what they do. Who are living their passions rather than just observing others living theirs.
I love being able to pass on some of my energy and passion for life to others and hopefully inspire them to let go of any fear and live a life they only dreamed about previously.
I love sharing experiences with people.
