CURRENT MISSION

To align with the divine cosmos and embrace infinite potential while living the ultimate human experience

ABOUT ME

I am a chiropractor, health educator, philanthropist working internationally. I'm a naturalist at heart, and I love trying to apply ancient wisdom to modern living.

I love music that soothes the soul, indulging in good and healthy food, giving back to the people, philosophical discussions, mind-stimulating books, the awe of being outdoors, learning new languages, and people who aren't afraid to be themselves.

PHILOSOPHY

Innatism - the truth is we are all born with everything we need to be great! Travel blog: www.innatist.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To surf and be surfed :). I want to see a place from the eyes of the people... If you want to learn about Californian/Chinese/Chiropractic culture, feel free! CS is great for cultural exchange.

Not interested in CS as a dating service, so please no solicitations with that intent. I'm a friendly person, but please don't mistake my friendly personality for romantic interest!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

AMAZING so far! Surfing, activities, new friends - what more can I ask for from CS? Love it.

One caveat, CS has notorious reputation as dating exchange in some countries. So be very clear on your intent and expectations.

I love action movies and comedies... Johnny Depp, Mark Walberg, Brad Pitt, and Robert Downey Jr. are my favorite actors. Charlize Theron, Sandra Bullock, and Halle Barry are my favorite actresses.

Life is music in motion. I love all kinds of music - whether it's top 40, classic, spanish guitar, opera, alternative, indie rock, oldies, mo'town, electric - I just listen to whatever feels right in the now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumped off a mountain in China; summited Mt. Fuji at 3am, pooped atop Machu Tunari; trekked the Fitz Roy mountains; camped next to a Glacier, then drank its icy mineral-rich water; farmed and harvested my own food; motorbiked up the Patagonian Andes... But really what about life isn't amazing? "The more I examine it, the more beautiful and extensive it becomes in my eyes." Astolphe de Custine re: life and art

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a chiropractor! I'm excited to share the wisdom of the human body with anyone who will listen... My specialty is in nutrition and neurology.

I want to learn how to improve my surf, yoga, fitness level. If you rock-climb, practice permaculture, can do a hand stand, or backflip, I want to be your friend!
