About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learn from others, learn from myself... laugh whenever possible

ABOUT ME

I enjoy getting away from things that I know; a new challenge, a new person or a new country are all things that appeal to me. I am on the quiet side most of the time, preferring to speak with one person and gain new insights rather than being briefly introduced to a bunch of people that I will not get to know. I like to have a good time, and you will know I've been drinking if I start dancing or singing. I definitely like experiential learning, I want to see with my own eyes and touch with my own hands. I very much like being regaled by a great story or storyteller, so always feel free to share your epics. My worldview has to dowıth unıversal energy, beıng a conscıous human and world cıtızen.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a journey, not a destination.
-also-
Peace, Love and Laughter.
-also-
When they hit you with their billy clubs, just zap them right back with your superlove.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hey, it's definitely changed over the years and it's becoming more mainstream. I guess that means people are sharing more, getting to know each other and places more. That's a pretty damn great thing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- anything from Old Crow Medicine Show to Billie Holiday to Bad Religion, from Bob Dylan to Sublime to Jimi Hendrix, from Mattafix to Flogging molly to Louis Armstrong and much of what's in between. I honestly don't take music that seriously although I love it, but don't expect me to claim one bands superiority.
Movies- eternal sunshine, duh.
Books- i'll just say that i like them very much but since i have a terrible memory i have to read them again and again. favorite authors: Hemingway and Homer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i thought i saw jesus once, then he turned around and i realized it was just a naked hippie. nearly had to become a believer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to make a functional compass with two stones and a stick. I need someone to teach me a little bit of their language, or a new recipe or anything. i learn from everyone so i'm sure you can teach me.
