PHILOSOPHY

I am constantly changing and strive to learn something new every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I like books by Daniel Pinchbeck and Charles Eisenstein among others. I like reading books about philosophy and popular trends in society from an non-entertainment industry point of view.
I like movies produced by Christoper Nolan (Inception, Interstellar, Memento,), the Matrix, Enter the Void, Cultural and Environmental Documentaries, and anything that makes me think rather than just entertaining me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swallowed a AAA battery when I was six years old. I was also on the Travel Channel while I was in Alaska in 2017.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have experience in the real estate and health insurance industries in addition to being an outdoor guide and many other random jobs. I consider myself to be a junkyard dog when it comes to having a wide range of random skills to share and am always open to learning new things.

If anybody has any experience with sustainable living or eco-tourism I would be interested in learning more about that. I hope to help design and build a sustainable community someday and have an adventure travel company that does adventure and voluntourism trips all over the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am willing to help out with most projects, provide a shoulder to lean on and help share advice and experiences from my own life, supply endless amount of enthusiasm, random knowledge, and energy.
