About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get 'off the grid' as much and as soon as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm beginning to travel as much as I can. I've left the average life behind and plan to travel the world for a few years to find MY paradise on this huge paradise. I'd like to find a small town to call home and buy some property where I can build a small off grid home then in the future a small community. In the mean time I'm traveling and experiencing everything I can. I just completed my first winter season in Winter Park, CO where I did some work and did lots of snowboarding and other snowbound activities. It was a blast and I can't wait to see what comes next!

PHILOSOPHY

Accept personal responsibility for all aspects of your life, live and let live...freedom, don't sweat the small stuff, and cooperation over competition.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Other than my small donation I'm just helping to spread the word. I hope to have a pad of my own soon in order to return the favor and do some hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only surfed in Denver so far and it was everything I had imagined and more! I stayed with two other friend surfers and had a fantastic host and more than adequate accommodations. Really couldn't have asked for more!

Interests

Outdoors! I love camping, hiking, swimming, mountain biking, snowboarding, wakeboarding, climbing, and more. If it's an activity that takes place outside I'll likely be down for the ride!

Metaphysics... I'm always reading and talking about the mind and how we are all creators in a limitless universe. I'm excited with how good I've become at attracting what I want, I hope to help others achieve similar results.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all types of music except modern country. More recently I've been listening to bluegrass style music and string bands. I have phases of different music genres, but all types have their place.

I like movies that make you laugh, think or question the norm. I find documentaries interesting as well. Some of my favorites are Happy Gilmore, Vanilla Sky, The Matrix, 180 Degrees South, and Kymatica.

Most of the books I read are to learn something. I read lots of books on the mind and living intentionally. Recent reads are "The Human Antenna", "Spontaneous Evolution", and "Slowing Down to the Speed of Life".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the gracious and happy people of earth. I even experienced it on my first CouchSurfing experience. The kindheartedness of people continues to amaze me.
