CURRENT MISSION

My mission in life is to enjoy and experience as much of it as possible. I want to meet people from all over the world and learn as much as possible about our global community.

ABOUT ME

I am a good natured fellow who likes to have fun as much as possible. I am always looking for new activities to try and new places to visit. I have only been to a couple of places outside the United States, but I hope to change that in the future. I currently live with my parents and siblings in sometimes sunny Castro Valley, CA. I am a very active person, constantly on the move and doing stuff with friends all the time. The only time I like to sedentary is when I am reading a good book, or watching a really cool movie. I believe everything in life happens for a reason and every person I meet has something to teach me.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to live life to its fullest potential, trying to enjoy every opportunity presented to me. In each person I meet, I try to learn something from them that I can apply to my life. I believe every individual has something to share with the world and I want to learn as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to try new activities and meet new people. I am generally an outgoing guy and find it really easy talking to pretty much anyone I meet. I am not someone who likes to sit on the sidelines and watch someone have fun. I want to experience the fun myself

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am really new to couchsurfing so far. Between my siblings and I, we have hosted a couple groups of people and look forward to meeting more people in the future.

Interests

My biggest interest is doing anything in the outdoors. Backpacking, rafting, hiking, camping, canoeing, climbing...it is all good to me. Going to sporting events are always awesome, but my favorite sporting activity is playing ultimate frisbee. I get a huge rush anytime I step onto the field. I love music and movies, currently I am learning to play the piano and am always looking for new songs to learn and play. Spending time with friends whenever I can is always a priority for me. I always like to be on the move and doing something.

Music, Movies, and Books

As far as movies go, I like almost all movies except for horror movies...there are already enough scary things in this world that I don't more bad images in my head. Some of my favorite movies are The Incredibles, Lord of the Rings, Disney Aladdin, Disney Beauty and Beast, Forrest Gump, Miracle, Remember the Titans, Shawshank Redemption, How to Train your Dragon, and Disney Tangled. Music, I like it all, especially county, but no heavy metal for me, it just sounds like screaming when I hear it. I like to read as much as possible. my favorites are the classics and science fiction/fantasy books. Sometimes its fun to escape the real world and enter another one entirely.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I have seen is something I see every time I go camping. It is the moment right when I wake up and open your tent door and I see the new day, full of potential and beauty. The birds are chirping, the air is fresh, and the ground is crisp. It is one of the most amazing things in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anyone how to throw a frisbee with several different grips and teach them to play ultimate frisbee. I can also share my knowledge of the San Francisco Bay area and a lot of the cool places to go hiking/camping.
