ABOUT ME

Natural philosophy is my way of life.
I practice daily to optimize my mind-body-emotion correspondence and work in assisting and encouraging others to do the same.
The best way to do this? By having fun.
Genuine fun.
The kind of fun that breeds productivity and creative inspiration.

I am a co-founder of a Holistic Community Center in East Texas called Zen Station.

As a guest in your home, I love to clean and help out wherever I stay.
More often than not, I prefer to sleep on the floor rather than a couch.
One word to describe me is Adaptable.

PHILOSOPHY

I alone cannot change society for the better. But I can radically transform my own self, overturning the conditioning that limits my potential. We can all do this, one by one. Over time we can change ourselves to the degree that society changes from the inside out - giving birth to a new way of being, manifesting our birthright of living in a peaceful and abundant world.
Have no fear.
Trust yourself.
Live your full potential.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, I surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From Delaware to CA and several destinations in between, I have encountered amazing people through CS meet-ups as well as plenty of hosts. Each experience through CS has been nothing short of Totally Rad.
I tell people about CS all the time when traveling is brought up.

Interests

Philosophy, first an foremost. For me, it's a way of life.
I spend my time reading and studying mathematics, physics, philosophy, neuroscience, and health/fitness/nutrition.

I enjoy white water rafting, mountain climbing, hiking, horse back riding, camping, and most every out door activity you could describe.
My passion in life is connecting with other humans, sharing in experiences, and sharing my love with all who are open to receive it.

That, and indulging in discussion about life, death, and the nature of the Universe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This one time, I roasted a marshmallow at the top of a volcano.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone is a teacher.
Everything is a teacher.
Earth is a school where spiritual beings come to learn about what it is to be physical.
In every situation, there is a lesson to be gathered. Each lesson will continue to follow you until you learn it, and it will get more difficult each time you fail to learn.
Karma is learning through pain. Dharma is learning through pleasure.
Everything external is but a reflection of something internal.
I Am another you. You are another me.
Everything is a reflection of you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Top-Shelf company and conversation.

Kind and well mannered house guest - cleans up after himself and for others.

I love to cook and bake.

If you enjoy adult beverages, I'm always happy to gift a bottle of wine or something of the sort.
