CURRENT MISSION

Make life happen, and happen to like it.

ABOUT ME

I like staying active, hiking, swimming, canyoning, snowboarding, or anything involving my backpack, but also chilling out with a cold beer or bottle of wine and good company.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" - DR SUESS!

"This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them so go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream and share your passion.” -Holstee Manifesto

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf and Host whenever possible! Trying to enlighten those unfortunate non-travelers with the ways of the world and how to surf couches. If this site was non-existent, I'd be building it right now...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every couchsurfer I've met has been pure awesome! I've surfed and hosted in various countries as well as states back in the US. The idea that there are cool like-minded people willing to help each other out all over the world is pretty epic.

Interests

Doing anything, or everything I've never done before! Experiencing experiences, living life, tipsy travelings, traversing treks, and alliterating... stuff.

• wine
• beer
• tv
• traveling
• hiking
• backpacking

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm pretty open to everything, except things I don't like, those aren't as good. Favorites bands (as of right now) are probably: Young the Giant and Family of the Year.

Books are great. Anything that makes you think and grow as a person, ie Celestine Prophecy, Siddhartha, The Sixth Extinction.. then there are fun ones like Game of Thrones (of course), Angels and Demons, 1984, James Patterson novels, Hitchhikers Guides, the list goes on..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many, many cool experiences. Ask and find out!

Experienced 56 countries around our amazing planet so far, doing many amazing things (and there's many more to do and see!)

I've also witnessed a meteor break through the atmosphere and crash land in the ocean. That was pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is all about experience, knowledge, appreciation, and understanding.. and to have crazy fun doing it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm working on having a space to host you surfers out there, but for now I'm free to meet up, drive us to whatever adventures we feel like going on, and livin' aloha style!
