CURRENT MISSION

To find the illusive couch and soak in as much culture as possible

ABOUT ME

I am a mix of french and spanish from Orange County, California. The kind of person that you meet and just dont understand. I have so many contradictions within its hard for me to understand. I love change and travel to free myself from daily routine, but I love to have a few people around to love continually. I want to make this world a better place and don't care if my change is significant. I want to love people passionately and understand everything they have to offer. I want to become the best person I can be. I am looking for truth, whatever it may be and however mixed up it is.

Someone is right behind you, matching your every step. You speed up. They speed up. "Shit" you think, "this guy is gonna kill me" (at this point this has become a fictional story- no one would ever think I could kill them) Then I suddenly speak up, "Hey I see your backpacking, so am I, you wouldn't happen to be a couchsurfer also?"

Moral of the story- There is none. I should come up with a worse fable. But in all sincerity, I want to say that I love meeting strangers and sharing a laugh or good experience with them and I am not afraid to break my comfort zone to do it.

Sometimes people say I am weird, but what is weird? I guess that about describes someone who is different than what you are used to. In that case many of the people of the world are weird, and I'm glad to be weird.

Another Anecdote:
The other day I just walked around smiling at everyone. I was happy to be traveling in such a beautiful world. I saw this lady and I did a awkward skip to cheer her up cause she looked really depressed and then I cracked myself up into a hysterical laugh. I never looked back to see if she finally smiled, but I hope she liked it.

Life is to be lived, and so many refuse to start. Give it all the passion you can muster 100% of the time. We only have so much of it.

Everytime something makes me feel nervous, I go and do it. When I don't know how to do something, I go and learn it.

I reflect a lot, I am learning to live as myself 100% of the time. I am reaching deep within to pull my whole spirit out for the world to see.

Live life and let it take you where it flows. I hope I have the opportunity to meet you, whoever you are, because I know I can learn something amazing from you.

PHILOSOPHY

I recently went through my very long list of ‘principles’ and realised they mostly related to a much shorter list:
Make the most of everything
Best the best me I can
Enjoy the journey

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Try to share as much about myself/experiences/culture with fellow surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first stayed in Christ Church, New Zealand in August for a couple weeks with an AMAZING fellow. He took me out and showed me the local hangouts n that and was an amazingly good host. I couldn't had expected to have as good a couch surfing experience ever but I had heaps of fun.

Also, I stayed with a few BEAUTIFUL people in Tasmania as well as in the outback of NSW in Broken Hill and Melbourne. I've been VERY lucky to meet/experience such wonderful people through this site.

Interests

Obsessed with playing Guitar and just music in general I reckon. I love to exercise and skateboard as often as I can. I LOVE movies. I would definitely consider myself a movie buff. I want to one day make one, and have already written a script actually. someday ..
