CURRENT MISSION

To influence others in a profound way and experience what the world has to offer.

ABOUT ME

I am a young guy in living in SF who loves to be with people. I try to stay positive and see the good in everything and everyone. I am very adventurous and therefore really enjoy being with people who try new things. I am tolerant and liberal. I have great experiences with Couch-Surfing and I am convinced that it is the best way to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

"Still living, still breathing, better than yesterday." This is what my grandfather would say everytime I saw him. It really inspired me to always look on the bright side of life. Yes, I like Monty Python.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live in San Francisco, California, right near the Dolores Park! I have a place available to stay at if you want. I'm pretty busy so I cannot guarantee that I will be there. But if you need a place to crash for a night or two let me know! I five housemates who are awesome people as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I will not travel any other way after finding off the path places and amazing friends through this community. It is the best way to travel. People are so friendly and welcome you into their homes! I am offering the same for those who wish to stay with me.

Interests

The outdoors are my life. I enjoy cities and all they have to offer, but prefer to be somewhere in nature. I get great joy interacting and creating bonds with new people.

If you are insightful and fun-loving it would be a damn shame if we did not meet.

If you are willing to talk to me deeply, my biggest joy is to contemplate the meaning of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Tasmanian Wilderness, Wineglass Bay

Climbing some very big mountains, Mount Shasta in California, Mt. Fuji in Japan.

European Adventures in which I traveled/lived in many countries for over a year.

Too many experiences to talk about.

Teach, Learn, Share

The wise. And that is everyone. I feel like any person can teach you something about yourself. Live day to day, and learn something new about yourself everyday. Don't stop, otherwise progress stops.
