ABOUT ME

I'm free-spirited, happy, and always looking to learn. I want to understand the world from as many different perspectives as I can. I love to be outdoors with as little gear as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

everyone is someone
be in the moment

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host when I can and stay on couches when I travel.

Interests

economics, plant identification, rock climbing, Kali, primitive wilderness survival skills, Tom Brown Jr. Tracker School, diversity, awareness, sustainability, preparedness, Eckankar. My parents never allowed much TV watching growing up, so I'm not much of a TV watcher now, and don't have the patience to sit through most commercials, or reality television. I'd much rather discuss good books.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Ralph Waldo Emerson once asked what we would do if the stars only came out once every thousand years. No one would sleep that night, of course. The world would create new religions overnight. We would be ecstatic, delirious, made rapturous by the glory of God. Instead, the stars come out every night and we watch television." Paul Hawken
