I'm a lover of many things: mindfulness, mountaineering, dancing, camping, laughter, yoga, burning man, personal growth and doing my part to make the world a better place.

I'm old enough to know a few realities of the world, and young enough at heart to be playful and optimistic with life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting with local people makes traveling (and life) so much more interesting. Wouldn't you agree?

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
The Fountainhead, All the Light we Cannot See, What is the What, 1,000 Splendid Suns. I love reading personal books that transport me into the homes of other cultures.

Movies:
Anything by David Attenborough, Marriage Story, Paddleton, Human (it's free on youtube and very well done), Life in a Day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I created a fun online video with 25 million views between facebook and youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf5TgVRGND4)

My wife Sophia and I are developing a board game that creates meaningful connections and brings groups together: https://www.instagram.com/mission.connect/

Let's see, I also started a small business in the USA delivering organic soups. We made 130,000 deliveries by bicycle. (http://www.soupcycle.com/)

I ate guinea pig in Peru! Take my advice and order salad instead.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love leading events around the world that help people connect on deeper honest levels, and have lead workshops in Italy, Colombia, Mexico and the USA. If you have a connection to a yoga space and are interested in hosting a workshop, message me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Honest conversation and embarrassing stories. :) Plus, a board game I'm developing that leads to some deep and ridiculous conversations (www.playmissionconnect.com)
