About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the entire world.

ABOUT ME

I love road trips and traveling to new places. I love driving really far distances. I love nature and standing in awe of earth's breath taking wonders like tonights amazing and almost shocking sunset. it looked like someone painted the sky on acid but even more vivid and beautiful. What else, i love getting stoned and enjoying thoughtful conversation about things i don't think people think about enough, like the fact that people don't really laugh that much and the whole idea of humans needing to have leaders is just strange. I appreciate so much the fact that i was born in this time in such a prosperous city and not some other place in the world where i'd have to work hard all day just to eat and survive. wow i'm even more thankful after writing that. I love life so much and am so happy I'm a human and not a possum or something else. I believe in falling and just letting the Universe catch you. It always does so i say go for it and live the life you want to live and be happy in every moment and help others when you can just because kindness spreads and people need to understand that. I think people, especially young people just growing into their own skin forget that life doesn't have to be dictated by this preset structure we have mapped out. Different and unique experiences breed cool and comfortable people so why does every one want to have the same new cars and houses and wear suits that match everyone else's suits. Be different be you, go live in another country, laugh more, consume less crap and fall in love everyday with people with places with ideas and with your ability to fall in love and simply be alive. Inspire people and get inspired everyday, its possible. I LOVE BEING ALIVE.

PHILOSOPHY

truth, beauty and love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

never couch surfed.

Interests

I enjoy flying, driving, catching a train or bus, subway or tram. I've flown a plane before so i hope to do that again, like riding scooters and driving cars really fast. I like being on slow and fast boats. I'd like to jump out of any of these vehicles hopefully with the help of a rope, parachute or diving equipment. Wouldn't mind the chance to do any of this with one of earth's mind blowing landscapes as a backdrop. Anything natural and colorful will please.
