About Me

CURRENT MISSION: I find myself traveling quite often. Upcoming trips:
Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Boston, Grand Canyon, Guatemala, and Peru.
I'm certainly open to hosting if I'm in town. Hard to say what my travel schedule will be as it is often impromptu. ABOUT ME Work hard, play hard. I am a firm beliver to keep a balance in life. We have such a short time on this planet. Make the most of it. I love my family and friends. I try to give more of myself than I know I will recieve back. I love helping others in any way possibe. Each experience just helps me grow as a person which I can then pass forward to the next person. Together we will become a better society. I am excited to travel and meet other people and learn of their culture. No better way then CS in my opinion. PHILOSOPHY Over 7 billion people on this planet. I can learn something from every single person. I try to live everyday to its fullest. People have so much poteintal if they are encouraged. I want to meet as many people as I can and learn from them. Their experiences, feelings, thoughts. When I meet someome I want to leave them knowing that their live has been enahnced. Shut up and listen. When I talk, I speak of what I already know, when I listen, I will learn something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host, tour guide, and surfer. If I can't host or act as a tour guide, then I will make the effort to at least meet for a drink.lunch/dinner. I recently relocated to South Florida and I’m working my way around to explore this area. I’m also open to ride trips and such with other surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I LOVE IT! My first surfing experience was in NYC. It was a last minute trip and I stayed in a hotel for the first few nights. I was bored out of my mind. Luckily, I was able to connect with a very experience couchsurfer. He exemplified the couch surfing experience for me. I had just an amazing time!
I've also had the opportunity to host over 300 or so people so far from all over the world. So much fun to visit with them and show them around my city.

Interests

I love to exercise. Nothing better than a good CrossFit workout. Hiking/Camping. Enjoy a cold microbrew at a local hometown pub. Meeting new people. Trying new food.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love the Bourne Series. Enjoy a good drama. Music is like a smile, it is the universal language. I enjoy every genre from bluegrass, rock, hip-hop, country, i can go on and on. The last book I read was "The Lone Survivor" An amazing book of courage and brotherhood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once stood on the deck of an aircraft carrier as fighter jets landed and took off.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach- I am very personable person with the ability to read people in an instant.
