CURRENT MISSION

Travel California and gain as much exposure to all the awesome things said, done and seen here

ABOUT ME

Professionally I have been in IT for 10 years now. My passion is adventure and healthy living. Looking to make a living out of health products (preferably vegan) so have come to California to learn and have a great time all at once. I am often described as "personable" and have a passion for travelling, running, mountain biking and meeting people and learning from them. Sometimes people even learn from me - who would have thought!? ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

All that is good or bad in my life is what I have attracted into my life. True "bad luck" is very rare. Don't really believe in luck but if I did... I'de have to say I'm a pretty lucky guy! My greatest joy is to share my luck with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am totally new to CS. Looking to surf my first couch and make my first new CS friend. Can't wait!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never "officially" couch surfed before. Many times I've met people travelling though and have randomly been invited to stay at their home for a few days. That counts for something right!?
