ABOUT ME

how could one summarize ones self into a few paragraphs, and especially since I know who I am to me not how others perceive me. I'm an easy going guy, I can be a little shy at first but come around. I like to keep a good sense of humor and not take things so seriously, I try to be open minded and just open to things in general. I was born and raised in seattle washington where I have lived my whole life, It is very beautiful, and has been very good to me, I especially like hiking and being in the nature of cascadia (the area where I am from). Its just kind of the best place on earth.
as of now I am in seattle for a few months before setting off to travel and explore the wider world. looking for adventure, new friends + family and new places to call home. I'm 19 and people are usually surprised when I tell them this, I have been told I'm mature for my age and I don't disagree.

I was born on a lucky star.

and the rest is still unwritten

PHILOSOPHY

philosophy I can be hard, but also fun to venture into when in the right place.

trying to figure my own philosophy out, its a lifelong process. trying to put it into text is hard as I have mostly explored this in my mind or through conversation, usually with those I trust.

I live to find excitement, kinship, contentment, purpose, and love and give.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, I host If I can, share experiences, knowledge, share life. like I say when I go to the metropolitan museum of art in nyc, this is 50 cents one ticket please.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had started couchsurfing before I knew about this website, but only through word of mouth i guess or mutual friends, I have hosted a few people I met for a night, or for a meal and a drink. In norway while hitchhiking a nice family took me in for a night and showed me around, it was very nice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My life right now. If I wish I could have told myself where I would be now to my younger self, but maybe he already knew...

the trip i was just on was very amazing. aside from that my life, I think we probably all have an amazing life, but just can't see it or have been preventing ourselves from being/doing amazing things because its easier to not do anything.

hiking up a mountain that had no trail by myself and sleeping at the top being up in the sky and just being filled with all sorts of amazing feelings.

Biking 60 miles in one day.

The world.
