CURRENT MISSION

With eyes open, keep moving, and drink good beer.

ABOUT ME

I love music and I love to create! We typically live with this, "me versus the world" mentality, and there's nothing like gathering together to help an individual become part of something greater and get out of their comfort zone.

My passion to learn motivates me to read, meet people, and travel to many locations. This immediate and ever-changing environment can provide all the learning materials one needs, all that is required is awareness.

Science is my professional outlet for my curiosity and creativity. I work at a robotics company that requires me to travel. I learn something every day about how little microscopic critters can improve our lives.

PHILOSOPHY

Present awareness is key. We are all breathing the same air. We have a responsibility to share our thoughts, our resources, and to contribute to mankinds' overall consciousness.

To me a good conversation involves freedom and learning.

My friends are everything to me. Every person I befriend remains a friend to this day. The worst thing in the world is to let another person down. I don't offer anything unless I mean it and I don't make promises unless I can keep them.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't use this service too often, but my hosting experiences have been positive! I'm friends with many couch surfers and hosts and I have to say I haven't met a participant I dislike!

I'm allergic to CATS, so I can't stay at a place where they live or have ever lived.

Centres d'intérêt

Playing music, especially jamming in a group. I love tasting new beers and talking about brewing. I'll take any excuse to go outside.

I like backpacking outdoors and admiring wildlife, flora and fauna. I'm a huge fan of mountains in general.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Everything of mine was stolen in South America and I got by for 2 weeks with just the clothes on my back.

A woman smuggled something under my chair on a bus in Chile, and I had no idea until we got through a border crossing.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Don't focus too much on capturing memories or taking pictures, focus on the richness of the present moment and good memories will come naturally from that. Try to enjoy the subtleties of every experience, and the memories will be as richer.

Overpacking = grief. walk a three miles in your pack before setting off on your adventure. You'll throw half your junk out I promise.
