CURRENT MISSION

For me traveling is more about meeting different people and connecting with them than about the places we meet.....

ABOUT ME

Im a pretty active person, I like to do just about anything, to include sit around and do nothing. There's a time for everything, so from hiking, diving, jumping, to watching a movie, talking, and reading everything has its place. Im also pretty laid back, and very hard to aggrevate or annoy. Im comfortable anywhere with almost anyone and just love people, getting to know them, and hearing their stories and perspectives.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy would have to be first and foremost love, for yourself and for everyone around you. Respect stems from love and is important also. If we all made the needs of the people around us as important as our own......I think we'd be a lot better off.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im not exactly new to cs but I kind of am. I joined a few years ago but have not had the opportunity to get involved. I havent had a place of my own or even been able to surf myself. I would love to try it now and hope to get involved soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although I am a veteran couch surfer in life, I have not had any experience with this website, I am ready to begin!

Interests

I love all kinds of sports, I grew up playing ice hockey, I just started learning Brazilian Jui Juitsu, and Ive played almost anything in between, baseball, football (american), soccer, or even just throwing a frisbee around is fun for me. I love having guests and being one, I love connecting with people in a sincere way. I love learning and exploring and understanding, people, places, ideas, perspectives and beliefs. I love music, making, and listening to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some of my most amazing moments you really couldnt understand from reading. Ive been to combat and seen some amazing things there, Ive traveled a bit and had some amazing moments but the most amazing ones wouldnt even seem amazing if you read them here. I'll just have to explain in person!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn almost anything from whoever can teach me. Music, fitness, history, I just love to know new things. I can play guitar a bit, Im into fitness and sports, I was in the military for four years and have some skills from that. I also was a carpenter for a couple years and am very handy around the house with fixing things, and very willing to help any host that I can with things like that.
