About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live and to learn. Hear stories, and make my own worth telling.

ABOUT ME

First; Never trust the last login location, I am in Sonora.

I have spent most of my life living in Africa following my parents around who gave me a great love of travel. Most recently that took me to spending most of the last 3 years living in Botswana as a Peace Corps volunteer and then some time in Tanzania and Kenya training to become a scuba instructor. Now I am back to traveling, came to New Zealand for a family reunion and wedding. I am hoping to travel and maybe work for a while while I explore this amazing country.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to figure out how to take the philosophy of work to live rather than live to work, and make it simply live to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am now living in a beautiful area of California that deserves to be shared. Luckily I have the space to host couch surfers.
In the past I have stayed with people and it has been great.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everything about couch surfing is awesome. I have had the privilege of meeting lots of great people. Even if the original contact was not couch surfing, learning that someone is a fellow CSer gives an immediate bond.

Interests

Travel, Scuba Diving, adrenalin junky when I get a chance (ski/snowboarding, white water rafting, rock climbing)
I love hearing peoples stories. Great conversations about just anything can make a night.
I am a geek so conversations about SciFi, technology, and the future are a real interest as well.
