ABOUT ME

Crippling wanderlust, global citizen.

I love philosophy, travel, music, life, politics, adventure, being calm and peaceful, relaxing, food and just about anything else.

Open minded, spontaneous, adventurous, outgoing, creative, respectful, intelligent types are welcome as friends, innocent conversation buddies, partners in crime, or as couch surfers anytime.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to travel the world, learning and teaching what I can as I go. I will travel as often as possible until the day I die because there is no better way to learn than to see, hear, smell, taste, do, and touch.

"The time is always right to do what is right." Martin Luther King Jr.

“I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.” Lao Tsu

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love connecting people, learning about other cultures and listening to people’s adventure stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

everyday is a new amazing experience

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn more Japanese, French, and Spanish!

The last thing I can think to offer is this, regardless of nationality and culture, people want to be treated with respect, looking people in the eye, shaking hands or bowing, smiling, and asking questions that show you care will get you a lot farther than being nervous, awkward, irritated, pessimistic, hopeless, or silent.

Australia, Austria, France, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States
