About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See it all.

ABOUT ME

Been living abroad for the last few years (China, Spain, then Mexico) and each was a great and different experience but now ready to make more of a permanent placement in the US. Chose to move to Bozeman since I have really been missing the snow and the wide open outdoors, need to get back to skiing and snowboarding full time. Big fan of nature, playing music, taking pictures and writing.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the present and be fortunate for everything that life offers you. Focus on what you have, not what you want and be optimistic about your life and everyone in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Attending couchsurfing meetings, events, getting to know people, and surfing occasionally when im traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have surfed in a bunch of places around Europe and never had a bad experience. The couchsurfing community is full of interesting and trustworthy people and there is always a good time to be had with the people you meet.

Interests

Music, sports, traveling, playing piano, exploring, taking pictures of the places i explore, devouring food from around the globe, not taking myself or anything too seriously, and living a laid back life.
