CURRENT MISSION
To fill my life with worthwhile experiences and people so as to ensure I lay on my death bed with a smile, not a frown

ABOUT ME
I appreciate the finer things in life. When traveling, the culture and natural beauty of the destination are on the top of my list. I grew up in southern California and Arizona. I am currently making my way as a professional musician and entrepreneur. I am more or less a man with a great desire to fill my life with travel, culture, excitement, and the finest people the world has to offer. I have high expectations for myself and am working to put my life on the path to excellence through honest purpose.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted more than staying with other people, but as long as international flights are this affordable, I intend to take advantage. I am about to embark on my second trip to Europe and hope to travel internationally once or twice a year.

My circumstances have made it difficult for me to host in the past couple of years, but that will soon change and I look forward to opening my home to this wonderful community again.

Interests

I am a big fan of the outdoors. One of the important things I like to do in the places that I visit is to see the natural beauty of the area. In my travels, the history, culture, art, and architecture of the region are important to me. I enjoy insightfully conversations and learning from the people I meet.
