About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To immerse myself in different lifestyles/cultures around the globe & meet awesome inspired people.

ABOUT ME

I'm David. Look forward to meeting you! Should be fun.

PHILOSOPHY

To sum it up succinctly it is strive for what you love, as opposed to striving to avoid what you fear.

You only live once, live with passion! Live with truth, lies can be convenient but they only cheat you in the end.

Get outside your comfort zone and you will see what you're really made of.

I could write endlessly in this section, but I'll save that for a good conversation in person if we meet and if you're curious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being a good citizen of Earth.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with many wonderful, generous hosts. It's been awesome - actually getting to live with a local and see how they live as opposed to hanging with tourists in a hostel. I am amazed at the kindness of the people I've met. The world's a lot friendlier place than media likes to show.

Interests

Music is my number one passion. I play guitar and write songs. Depending on who you ask I sing as well.

I love football(soccer) whether it be playing or watching. I love the sort of zen concentration needed to play it well - the meditative focus that you can find in a lot of sports/combined with the great benefits of exercise.

I enjoy conversation and people. I love drinking beer, kickin back.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was there when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain.

Actually I wasn't... that's a Rolling Stones lyric.

Amazing thing done... that's a bit pretentious to categorize things like that. Hmmm.. I have seen someone genuinely forgive someone else. That's pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to discuss with anyone just life, art, the future, anything positive. Exchange our experiences, exchange our knowledge. Right on, dude!(too californian?)
