About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to create a better world, and to have fun doing it. The whole point of life is love, that's really the end and the beginning. The most beautiful moment in life is the moment we recognize the ourselves in each other, that there is truly only one of us. I wake up everyday absolutely ecstatic to be alive and for the opportunity to share this crazy ride with everyone I can.

ABOUT ME

Peaceful Nomad. I love to be outside and enjoy the gifts of nature. It's the simple things that I appreciate so much, like the warmth of the sun, the chill of the rain, the quiet stillness of the trees, the loud rush of wind, it's all so fun. I love to meet new friends and learn what makes them tick. I like to hear about people's dreams, fears, successes, failures, the light stuff and the heavy stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

Live well, love lots. The only rule I live by: First be kind, then do as you wish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy hosting people over whenever I can. I've traveled alone to far off places often enough to appreciate the value of a friendly host and sturdy roof.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly hosting, a little surfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Documentaries, electronic and folk music, radical politics, and non-dual spirituality. I love to read stuff from the modern sages like Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj, and the contemporary teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, and Francis Lucille.
I'm always down for a good music festival. There's nothing like getting together with a power crew for a couple days of sun, drink, dance, and laughs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Kilimanjaro and lived in a Kenyan orphanage. Best 3 months of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will talk day and night about what to me is the most interesting conversation imaginable, the nature of consciousness and reality. I love to explore the nexus between science and spirituality, where non-dual wisdom meets neuroscience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to coach anything movement related. Yoga, hiking, gymnastics, weightlifting, etc.
