About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Constantly evolve! Not settle and not grow stangant

ABOUT ME

I live in ***BROOKLYN, NY*** for some reason couchsurfing won't let me change that. Sorry, but not in Ventura.

Writing about myself is not something I enjoy. My preference is to learn about other people and if given the opportunity, share their stories!

PHILOSOPHY

Learn by going where I have to go. Laugh out loud, as much as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I save worms when it rains. Aside from that, some things I've done: at 19 I set out to work and live with traditional Navajo's in AZ. I've stayed in the Okavango Delta bush with domesticated wild elephants for a month, which is still one of my all time favorites. I decided I needed to drive to the center of the Arc du Triomphe round-about and out again in Paris. Then drove that same car, with the steering wheel on the left-hand side, through the Chunnel to England and proceeded to drive on the left side of the road throughout England. While there I used a Tube map to navigate to a friends house in South London. Today, I sometimes still question which side of the road is the right side to drive on! I hiked to the top of the Schilthorn in Switzerland alone and survived!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been lucky to travel a lot of the world and have had fortunate experiences that I hope to share or extend to other people along this journey of life. Respect of people and their varied perspectives is a motivator for me, understanding of differences. I often find myself in a position of fighting for the underdog.
