Hey everyone! I'm an avid adventurer, musician, and artist of many kinds who loves to travel the world seeing new and intriguing places and meeting amazing people. I'm a firm believer that since we all share this world, we should all help to make each others lives better and keep everyone happy, since ultimately making people around you happy will keep you happy as well...and the love will continue to spread!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is just what I do, living the most incredible places the world has to offer while I develop my spirituality and grow daily as a person. As I travel I learn ways to give back to my community and bring up others around me, ,and the generosity I find in people on my travels helps to boost my confidence in people's ability to be good to each other.

Interests

I love to play guitar, write music, freestyle and jam, have been playing since I was a little kid. Also play an array of other instruments including piano and some woodwinds and well, whatever I can get my hands on. I'm a sketch artist and recently started wire wrapping jewelry, always building on my abilities in the arts and crafts department. Love to snowboard, hike, dirt bike, mountain bike, disc golf, camp, discover...put me outside and I'll be happy!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently Nahko and Medicine for the People have become a favorite group of mine, Nahko Bear specifically does the strings justice with awesome sound and harmony with truly deep and spiritually awakening words. Yet I listen to a huge array of music depending on my mood and activities such as atmosphere, john butler triio, chili peppers...the list is huge.

Just recently re-read the Alchemist and am beginning to read Into Thin Air about a tragedy summitting Everest. Fight Club has been one of my favorite books in the past, helped make me realize what you actually need in life and how lots of stuff you don't need is not a path to happiness.

Although I don't spend much time in front of a TV some movies such as Thrive, Crimatica, I Am, and other inspiring documentaries always hit me in a good way. Shows and movies such as Art of Flight and Naturally are pretty awesome as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saved my best friends life after an accident setting up camp between 2 peaks on a backpacking trip after he slipped while holding a buck knife, accidentally stabbing himself and puncturing his femoral artery. EMT training was certainly not a waste of time.

This was the first thing to come to mind, but good God, I've spent my whole life doing amazing things!

Teach, Learn, Share

People, we need to learn to love each other better, show it more often and do it HONESTLY. Care about each of your brothers and sisters, the mothers the misters and the others, our neighbors, whether those who follow or lead us, believe, or deceive us. Show love to those you may not love; chances are, you will receive love in return and that energy will bloom unwaivered positivity. BUT true love isn't selfish. It isn't about you or what you get out of it or even how it makes YOU feel if how THEY feel isn't the goal. If you show love to someone simply because you want to receive it, its just like helping someone for the soul reason of wanted to look like a helpful person; that's a selfish gain. HELP ONE ANOTHER, with anything and everything you can, and do it to help them, not to help yourself. Ultimately, doing this truly will help you on a level you never could have imagined. Feel your connection to others grow stronger and stronger and see what it builds...its magnificent. Show love today, exude it from your entire self to the entirety around you. Even water can feel love; look at Emoto's ice crystals. Whether you wake up feeling low or high, on the wrong side of bed or the right; doing this will make your day AND your neighbors day better, and will promote good days in the future to come. I love each and every one of you, even when you don't make that easy. Lets do right by each other and see how far we can take this beautiful life of ours!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always willing to throw in a helping hand or 2, will help with whatever is needed around the house or anything else where I can be of service. I'm a great cook and would be honored to cook breakfast and dinner for my hosts (I'll even clean as well!). I keep clean and organized and when travelling only have a backpack with me. I'm very respectful and can ensure I'll bring positive vibes to your household!
