CURRENT MISSION

To travel this world befriending it's amazing inhabitants leaving nothing a trail of wonderful energy behind me.

ABOUT ME

I love the experience of meeting great people. I am a new activity and experience fiend and with the exception of bungee and skydiving, will try ANYTHING. Cut me some slack, I have a problem with going very high up, jumping and "trying" not to hit the ground. I love to laugh uncontrollably and having a deep voice...it’s a bit epic. I LOVE spicy food and would probably eat bark if you put some Sriracha on it. I am adored by small animals and children but have no idea why...but I suspect it has something to do with my childish behavior. Lol. Tattoos are awesome and watermelon makes me smile like an infant. I teeter between brilliance and idiocy. I have a response for everything. I enjoy the little things that makes me unique. If you're weird, you're probably doing it right. Completely nomadic by nature. I can pick and go to anywhere at any time. Everything I own is with me so there nothing to leave behind.

PHILOSOPHY

FEAR IS THE KILLER OF DREAMS

BECAUSE I CAN

.....and yes, I have them both tattooed on me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE
I’ve traveled through 65 countries over the last 12 years and have been hosted by some amazing people who I still talk to to this day. I don’t solely rely on Couchsurfing nor do I take it as a freeloading experience. I Couchsurf to connect, to make amazing friends, exchange cultures, coverstaions, food and experience the country I visit fully through your eyes and experience so I can tell others of the experience!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies....all of them, from small independent ones filmed with a cell phone to huge blockbusters with the budget of a small country. Sci Fi is my favorite because I'm an undercover nerd. Love the Marvel Universe. I don't watch horror, scary movies or really slow dramas

Music....incredibly diverse taste. Good music is good music. I am not a big fan of how bad rap has become and Big fan of good songwriting and people who can actually sing.

Books....I've been crushing through a lot of the Star Wars books but there are so many of them! Again, almost exclusively sci-fi or sci-fantasy. NERD hahaha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled down the Rio Grande river for 14 miles in December through four sets of rapids. Half-way down one of the canoes with us wrecked and got lodged against a huge boulder in the middle in frigid cold waters. I built a fire in record breaking time so they didn't die of hyperthermia and 8 of us stayed on the Mexican side of the river overnight while the kayaks kept going to get help. I made friends with a wild Mexican horse and saw more stars in the sky that night than I have ever seen in my life total. The next afternoon the kayaks got back, we freed the canoe and continued the last 7 miles down the river. The Coca Cola and Instant Noodles I had when we finally made it back was definitely was one of the best meals of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love the human dynamic and the energy that people create together. I have a ridiculous amount of information floating around my cranium and will learn anything of interest. I’m think fast, believe strong and life honestly. Meaning....I will tell you how I feel or think with no hesitation and welcome the same! I'm filled with life experience and a treasure chest of life hacks. I've succeeded and failed a 1000 times and have learn something from that every time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm love to talk, possibly why I never shut up haha. I'm a pretty good and enjoy making meals for people. I enjoy as much beer as any man and rum more than a pirate. I live a strange wonderful life, completely nomadic and without a plan or care in the world. I have a good heart, great energy and A SHIT TON of cool stories to share. Couchsurfing isn't about a free bed for me. I love the exchange of ideas, cultures, stories, food and laughter. I still talk to almost every host I have ever stayed with and everyone that has stayed with me.
