CURRENT MISSION

"mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time!"

ABOUT ME

I'm a student at the University of Arizona getting my bachelors in journalism and soon my masters in teaching. I write science stories for the AZ Daily Star and I used to write music and arts for the Tucson Citizen. I love good conversation and unforgettable experiences. I hope to hike the Appalachian Trail and continue my travels once I graduate. Jack Kerouak is one of my favorite authors, I like to think people can live the way he did but in a more productive and healthy manner. Bob Dylan and William Shakespeare are also great influences of mine. I think the meaning of life can be found through meeting as many interesting people as possible; we all pocess a tiny piece of this crazy puzzle. peace, love and adventure! spontanaity is key.

PHILOSOPHY

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

-Buddha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

"I see a vision of a great rucksack revolution thousands or even millions of young Americans wandering around with rucksacks, going up to mountains to pray, making children laugh and old men glad, making young girls happy and old girls happier, all of 'em Zen Lunatics who go about writing poems that happen to appear in their heads for no reason and also by being kind and also by strange unexpected acts keep giving visions of eternal freedom to everybody and to all living creatures..."
