CURRENT MISSION

Understand the World and the Self and how we relate. Build a practice of Self-Care and Synergy interacting with the world around me, aid others in their process of self-actualization!

ABOUT ME

ENTP - I love experiences, understanding people and the world in new ways. I get a kick out of helping others. I have a problem studying too broadly.

I generally try to be perceptive to the winds of life, and wise about how I sail them.

PHILOSOPHY

An appreciation of mindfulness, self-awareness, and living with a Heart at Peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

WHY COUCHSURFING

I've started as a surfer, connected to a larger global community.
The wonderful experiences I've had surfing inspired me to host at some point in the future, and that future point is now!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed around Taiwan and the Philippines, among amazing hosts whom I am so grateful to. Recently I went to Oakland for a Psychedelic Science Conference and stayed with a couple hosts there as well.
