About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore our planet

ABOUT ME

I was a flight attendant for an airline. I started doing that in Oct of '06 and just left the end of November '11. Before that, I drifted from job to job looking for my calling. I was in the USMC for 8 years, but it got too political. I'm not a "yes sir" kind of guy. I live my own life and try to enjoy it as much as possible. Now I am in landscaping. (cutting, edging, trimming, etc.)

PHILOSOPHY

Love life while you live it. What's in the past should be left there because there's nothing you can do to change it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try and give guidance to people visiting the Orlando area. I have hosted one person so far. I also spent a day at Universal Studios Orlando with another that my mom was hosting. He was from India and we had a great time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted someone who was here during a golf tournament. Met up with Polk County CS'ers and had a great time. Surfed for a few days in Anchorage. Spent time with surfers my mom was hosting. Recently went to a NYC event and met some really cool people from all over. My most memorable was spending time in Johannesburg, SA surfing with a really cool guy. We hung out some on his day off and really hit it off well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a couple of elephants very close while driving around on a preserve in South Africa, as well as petting baby lions at a park there. Macchu Picchu was quite amazing, regardless of the rain and drizzle.
