CURRENT MISSION

To mix things up a bit/ To find my own truths/ To bannish fear and greed and discover in its place, more beauty and love. A passion for life and people. Yeah, we'll go with that...

ABOUT ME

i'm a pretty low-maintenance person. some say it's low ambition, I just see it as being happy with what i've got. i try to pay more attention to the present moment than get caught up in the past or the future. i love variety!

PHILOSOPHY

do good: ease suffering. rejoice. be aware of wherever i'm at and being honest with it. happier with less since many times, the things we own end up owning us. life in itself is a gift that was freely given and will someday be taken away, so enjoy it while you can, while helping others do the same. pursue what makes you feel alive and grateful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

music- just about anything, but not too much country. some favorites are hendrix, marley, sublime, leonard cohen, mad caddies, the doors, anything reggae or 60's
books- i prefer non-fiction, stuff that makes you think, but need to throw in a good story once in awhile (Farenheit 451, the Alchemist, Buddhism without Beliefs, Giving Tree, the Giver, the Great Gatsby, the Prophet, THE BOOK by Alan Watts, anything Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Hunter S. Thompson, and Rumi...and my all time favorite: Jack Kerouac
Movies-anything comical or inspiring (Braveheart, Fight Club, Dead Poets Society, Big Lebowski)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Be open to the non- "amazing" things- and be grateful for them.

Teach, Learn, Share

As Hunter S. Thompson mentioned in Fear in Loathing in Las Vegas, "If you don't know, come to learn. If you know, come to teach". Some of the things I do know are how to play guitar and speak Spanish.

Some things I'm wanting to learn- whatever you got!
