CURRENT MISSION

Searching for truth, beauty, and relationships with all sorts of people from all sorts of places to better understand this world.

ABOUT ME

I cherish meaning in my life. Things that are meaningful to me are the pursuit of truth and love, pursuit of relationships, and pursuit of adventure. I love hiking, flying, animals, people, and of course good food.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. Who was concieved by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead and ascended into heaven, where he sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit,the Holy universal church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
At least until I find a better explanation of things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I am currently able host, I primarily use this as a tool to save money while traveling and at the same time get a more fulfilling traveling experience by experiencing the places and people along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed in China, England, Czech Republic, Austria, Sweden, the US and Norway and all have been great experiences. What a fantastic idea!

Interests

Flying, outdoors, adventure, languages, other cultures, and understanding people better. I also like woodworking, spending time with my 15 year old brother, building anything and raising homing pigeons.
