About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live in many places, love many things, inspire many people.

ABOUT ME

These are my favourite things to do: Write, laugh, drink, eat, be merry, create, inspire, love, travel, explore, quote TV shows, work too hard, study even harder, sing, cook yummy meals...the list is endless. I love to make people laugh which in turn makes me laugh, so everyone wins. I can't claim to know it all, no one can, but I do the best with what I have - and if I want something, I will go after it!

PHILOSOPHY

Live High, Live Mighty, Live Righteously...taking it easy...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am entering into this community to get to know the real side of particular cultures and to give them the opportunity to understand me. When I choose a place to roost I will always host people. No question.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Face planted a volcano, jumped off a 14M waterfall, dressed as Lady Gaga singing "Just Dance" on a stage, walked in the footsteps of ancients, drank my body weight in Mescal, walked through ancient caves by candlelight, saw snow for the first time @4250m, zorb-balled down a hill, comforted a close friend, become my own person...

Teach, Learn, Share

You cannot exchange small amounts of foreign country at a travelex booth - even if it equates to over $20 American. The Commission rates are too high!
