About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover new people and places through my passion for climbing and film making

ABOUT ME

I'm passionate about life and love nothing more than meeting interesting, generous, and good people. I hate the media's slant that everything is going to hell, while there is still so much good out there.

I love photography and film, and participate in both as much as possible. I am also an avid rock climber, and am motivated to travel and see what the world has to offer when it comes to beautiful landscapes and sheer cliffs.

PHILOSOPHY

There is more good in the world than people make it out to be. More generous people who will lend a hand, and go out of their way to help a stranger than most would like to believe. Possibly because they don't see that capacity in themselves and wouldn't like to think better of anyone else.
In the end, "When you choose security over happiness, It comes... At that Price"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
