About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pay off student debt.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fairly relaxed guy, tend to get along with most people and just want to live life getting many interesting stories and experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Get out and live every minute of life. What ever it is you do look for opportunities to learn and find things you enjoy and do them daily. I believe in two things Carpe Diem and a bumper sticker I have on my old computer "It's not the destination, it's the journey."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people and give any knowledge about the area to travelers even if I can't host them, so if you have a question don't be afraid to ask.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've used it to host people, meet up with people, contact people for local information, and surfed a few times.

Interests

Hiking, Biking, Long Boarding, Soccer, Wakeboarding, Skiing, Snowboarding, Telemark skiing, Cross country skiing, and just being outside.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big fan of Clive Cusslers books, the Kite Runner, and the Alchemist was a very good read.

I like any kinds of music, very open to listen to anything but i'm a fan of country, classic rock, hip-hop, alternative, and whatever else I can find.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've crashed cars racing around a track to try and make some money. I've tried street performing in france to make a few bucks for some food. I rode a bicycle up the continent of Africa with many fun side trips. I am currently trying to understand the body and how to develop new medical technologies.

Teach, Learn, Share

Enjoy what you do as a job and not look at it as a way to make money. Find a way to make it fun and exciting. Enjoy all of life not just vacations.
