CURRENT MISSION

Open people up to the beauty of life.

ABOUT ME

I started working for Extreme Sports Camp in Aspen, CO and it completely changed my life. Its designed specifically for kids with Autism and working in this community is my passion. I love all people and places. I am very open minded and love discovering new interests.

PHILOSOPHY

The past is dead. The future is imaginery. All we have is the present, and it is a present. Its the best gift ever. I try to live every moment in the here and now because nothing else really matters when you think about it. Why dwell on a past experience when there's nothing you can do about it. Why worry about the future when the world could end tomorrow. It's silly to waste all that energy and miss out on right now. Whatever you do could be positive or negative depending on your perspective of it. No matter where you are at it is what it is. You can either make a change if you dont like it, or if you cant make a change then appreciate what you have because there's nothing you can do about it. Each person has the abililty to do whatever they like and to live out their dreams. Thats what I try to do at all times. Life is beautiful if you let it be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been superb so far. I surfed my first couch in Denver at the end of July 2008. It was a great time and since then I've surfed about 1/2 dozen more. My only problem is I love the people that I've surfed with so much and I don't ever want to leave. Everyone I've met through CouchSurfing has been very positive and giving.

Interests

Almost everything I do, I like. I cant just do one thing because that leaves me no time to do everything else. I believe everything in life is beautiful in some way and I want to experience everything that I possibly can. I love meeting and talking to people the most. Everywhere I go I try to spark up a conversation with anyone. Most people dont really respond but when someone does its great and you learn so much. My list of interests looks a little like this: hiking, swimming, reading, writing, sports, eating, cooking, beer, meeting people, learning, talking, listening, yelling, being silent, music, driving, airplane rides, travelling....it's silly to make a list because whatever the moment calls for is what I'm interested in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think everything is amazing in some way. I've done a lot compared to some people and to others I haven't even scratched the surface.

Teach, Learn, Share

You are a teacher and a student at the same time to everyone you meet. Everyone has an impact on you whether you see it or not.
