CURRENT MISSION

To experience all the things that many people are too afraid to seek.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy a variety of things. I love to curl up with my lap top and a beverage in the corner of a coffee shop and research my next adventure. I love a crazy night out full of spontaneity and uncertainty with a good buzz to accompany. I love wasting away an entire day on the beach only getting up to rescue my coconut from the surf. I love hiking from sunrise to sunset until I feel like I need a foot-transplant.

The only thing in life that's constant is change. I don't mind this because I love a change of scenery, a change of pace, and the unfamiliar. That, and doing something I've never done before lights up my world like nothing else. Who we are is also constantly changing. We hold on to the parts of ourselves we're proud of, and better the parts we're not.

All in all, I'm a guy in his twenties that's embracing the adventures that life has to offer. And each time I stumble across a new experience or dive head-first into a new adventure, I seem to find just a little bit more of myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm fairly new to the site, but I've only had good experiences thus far and anticipate that not changing.

Interests

I think this is where I'm supposed to put something original like cow-tipping or jet-ski paint-balling... but really I just love TRAVEL, writing, literature, good drinks, great food, adventure, and genuine company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been fortunate enough to see a handful of things that I found to be "amazing" however I would say the time I spent on a remote island at an eco-friendly household just off the coast of Panama is probably my fondest memory. This wonderful family I stayed with grew all fresh fruits and vegetables on the island. There was spear-fishing, the rainforest, dolphins in the bay, hammocks on the dock, solar panel energy, and a pet monkey named Lisa. All this nestled in one of the most aesthetically mind-blowing locations in the world. Leaving was 'difficult' to say the least. I plan to return one day soon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've done some invigorating travel through Central America, the Caribbean and China. I live/work in China. I majored in English. I'm open-minded :-)
