Im very passionate about traveling, not taking anything too seriously, delicious food, a great story, and being up for any great adventures...

Ive spent the last eight years wandering across the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, sailing through the South Pacific and up through the Melacca Straight.. And a whole bunch of time on Maui in between, where I became a dive instructor and had a long, deep, passionate affair with the deep blue.

Also, Im very nonreligious, cant stand politics, and have a badass black cat named Django.

I never get bored, and hate when people say that they are. You only get bored if you're boring! I absolutely love hearing people talk about whatever it is that they are passionate about, and I LOVE meeting people with some good stories under their belt. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

By far my favorite part of my travels.. Always love my cs experiences. I've made some great friends over the past eight years on this site.

Music, Movies, and Books

As far as music, i love reggae, blues, anything with a funky beat, blue grass, classic rock, most easy listening genres..

Love to read. My favorite kind of books are based on peoples lives, travel memoirs... etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think even the smallest, seemingly insignificant things can be amazing.

But hmm let's see..

- Drinking kava with the prime minister of Vanuatu
- Free falling from 15,000 feet for over a minute (after some 420 action no less.... wouldnt recommend that part haha)
- Being 100 feet below the surface and surrounded by hammerheads
- Seeing a 16 foot manta ray emerge out of the foggy distance swimming towards me.. followed by a few more of his buddies
- That crazy angry pirate fisherman situation in the middle of the night while sailing through the Strait of Malacca

Can't wait to add to it!
