CURRENT MISSION

To truly discover and understand myself, the beautiful world around me and how I might fit into it.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty easy going kind of guy. I'm very open/accepting and really only have difficulty with people who are needlessly judgmental and biased. I love to laugh and I believe I have a good sense of humour. For more of an understanding of what I'm like see the sections below, there's some good stuff there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

If there is a better way to travel, I don't want to know about it! Seeing new places when traveling is one thing (one amazing thing), meeting the people of those places gives you an entirely different perspective. My experiences have been breathtaking and eclectic. These are two of my favorite attributes for everything in life.

Interests

Bouldering. 'Nuff said! And my ever present interest, hobby, lifestyle, what-have-you, is discovering my inner self and the mysteries of existence through meditation, discussions with old and new friends and living positively, consciously and with love. I love the Ocean and pretty much all that nature has to offer. Rainbows, fireworks, campfires, ultimate frisbee and many other sports, whales, kingfishers. I'm interested in all the good things in this world.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES - Anything and everything with Gene Wilder, Kevin Klein or Jeff Bridges. Anything by Wes Anderson. The Princess Bride, I Love You Man (so few examples)

The Alchemist, The Far Side, The Hobbit, Dune (again, a long list)

MUSIC - Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd), There are Days and Then There are Days (Shotgun and Jaybird), Eric Clapton Unplugged (his 'plugged' stuff is good too), Loaded (the Velvet Underground).

Not a big fan of country, modern punk or metal.
Love classical to get me thinking and love jazz to get me thinking in a totally different way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Today I went for a bike ride around my neighborhood and it was pretty amazing! I usually only have to take one step outside to remember the amazingness of everything!

Teach, Learn, Share

Why was 6 afraid of 7?

Because 7, 8, 9.

(Also, I'm a naturopathic doctor. I love to talk about herbs, chinese medicine, spiritual health and happiness, balance in all aspects of life. Not to say I know a lot about any of these but will talk and love to hear what others can teach me about them/life.)
