CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much as I can with the little amount of time I have

ABOUT ME

I am currently working at Firestone Walker Brewery after studying brewing technology and graduating with a BS in Civil Engineering. I know it is quite the career change but I love learning so much that I feel like I am bound to end up knowledgeable about everything but a master of nothing. There's just too many interesting things to do.

I am very active. Growing up in California, you have the ability to recreate year round. Once again, I find myself interested in far too many things. My most sacred hobbies, however, involve me in a remote location with a specific task at hand...ex: Surfing, Flyfishing, Bike Riding, and Backpacking. All of these get you away from the daily routine and force you to live in the moment. I love to feel synchronized with the world around me and wonder about the complexity of everything.

As much as I like to get away from it all, I constantly find myself in a remote beautiful place only wishing that I could share the experience with someone else. I cherish the friends that I have who are willing to push the physical limits and get out there. The genuine smile of your best friend after he just caught the wave of his life, a high five on top of a mountain after a day of physical labor, or the sense of accomplishment after catching the trout you've been learning about for two weeks...This is the shit that I live for.

PHILOSOPHY

Simple. Be Real. Have a positive outlook but a realistic interpretation.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch surfed almost the entire time I was studying beer in Munich. Since then I have been hosting people here and there when my schedule relaxes a bit. I've got to say, I thought I would participate but work tends to complicate things.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Wow! Too many experiences to share. Living in Germany and studying beer was pretty awesome.

Next in line would have to be the time I spent in Thailand. I lived with a Thai family for three months while I worked with a NGO engineering houses made from Interlocking Compressed Earth Blocks (a sustainable reconstruction effort initially intended for Indonesia).
