About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making sure I don't die at a desk

ABOUT ME

I don't own a TV. I will obsess about martial arts, given any opportunity. My hair will usually look a little strange. I aspire to be a professional vagabond. Until I manage that, I'm keeping busy. This year's projects include:

1. Startups, yea! 2. JiuJitsu3. Spanish... Chilean Wine!

PHILOSOPHY

One life, make it count. Leave it better than you found it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I bring stories and mixed drinks (for those that enjoy them). If that fails, I always have a book.

I'm officially on the road, now. Trying to explore Chile and learn Spanish, at the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I keep accruing awesome experiences wherever I couch surf. Everyone is incredibly open and accommodating, and I've made some great friends in the 2+ years I've been a dedicated surfer.Also, I had the pleasure of hosting a couchsurfer for close to two months who eventually became a permanent roommate. So, couchsurfing has been good to me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A valley covered in Rhododendron in full bloom. Frozen lakes at the base of snow-capped mountains. I ran 50 miles once.
