CURRENT MISSION

Currently, I am unable to host or meet up with anyone. Please, please don't ask me to host or meet up with you. I love CSing, but am busy with a new job and life at the moment. Thanks for understanding.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself to be open minded, spontaneous and adventurous, a person at ease in almost any situation. I'm just as happy cuddling with the earth under a blanket of stars as I am drinking in the lights of a new city. I'm a wanderer and I'm insatiably curious. I love the outdoors, people, randomness and adventures that aren't planned.

PHILOSOPHY

I love not knowing what I'm going to be doing or where I'm going to be tomorrow. It makes life interesting. So, no regrets! Don't think too much about it, just go for it...today, this week, this month, this year. I try to ask myself - Am I living my life based upon fear or based upon passion?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only surfed a few times so far (all excellent experiences) but I've hosted many travellers. It's all been pretty amazing.

Interests

Friends visiting me. Optimism. Confidence. Nature. Exploring. Blizzards. Conservation. Conversation. Fire. Politics. Sports. Cards. Vino. Thick beer. Cooking for friends. An intelligent game of verbal ping pong. Old friends who know everything about me. New friends who know nothing about me.

I'm not a TV person, I think it's a huge energy zapper and waste of time. I do appreciate a good film, but I'd much rather be playing outside. Or reading. Or learning something new...like practicing my guitar and brushing up on my spanish.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky diving over the Swiss alps. Scuba diving over the Great Barrier Reef. Shark diving in South Africa. Bungy jumping off the highest bridge in the world. Reaching the summit of Huayna Picchu. But the most amazing adventures in life aren't always so grand, they are usually quite simple.

Teach, Learn, Share

My mind is open to learning new things, I think something can be learned from everyone and every situation. If you can introduce me to new musicians, authors, artists or ideas I will love you forever.
