CURRENT MISSION

To constantly improve myself and to clean up my spare bedroom

ABOUT ME

Trying to experience as much as possible! I'm currently in a situation where every two months, I get 30 days off and a round trip ticket anywhere in the world, so I'm kinda going crazy with that...

PHILOSOPHY

Sounds a little pretentious, but I'll take a shot at it.

I guess I do have a “Big Deal” doctrine. If the problem doesn’t constitute an immediate threat to my life, limb or eyesight or that of someone entrusted under my care, it’s not a big deal.

On a related note, if you have an actual “Personal Philosophy” or “Mission Statement” we’re probably not gonna work out.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm traveling so much right now that I just threw all my stuff in storage for the time being, but I've hosted for nearly four years.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing but positive. I've hosted amazing people that have brought so much knowledge, food, crazy fun and good energy into my home!

Intereses

Motorcycles, motorboating, photography, anything outdoors or in the water, flying, technical scuba diving, monkey training, nerf herding, extreme thumb wrestling, playing croquet with flamingos and hedgehogs.

I'm fascinated by relationships; how and why men and women relate, behavioral psychology and sociology. I love meandering, drunken discussions about the human nature, life, the universe and everything.

Stuff I suck at but am steadily improving on: playing the guitar, reading "significant" books, surfing, ballroom dancing, Spanish, running, sauté, slack-lining

Algo increíble que he hecho

I once tried to get a half-dislodged snack out of that screw-dispenser in the vending machine by violently shaking it and IT ACTUALLY WORKED. Currently enjoying Central Asia.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Things I've learned in my recent travels: A dollar bill is exactly six inches long. Chicken breast is the dry white bread of meat and is not fit for human consumption. Ostriches are mean as hell. You can focus yourself out of nitrogen narcosis.

If interested, I will teach you how to make amazing marinara sauce and walnut chocolate chip cookies from scratch.
