About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To experience life to the fullest and help others to do the same.
ABOUT ME
Not sure what exactly to say, I love life and everyday seems to be an adventure. I am close to my family and enjoy learning new things.
PHILOSOPHY
Keep your mind open no matter what. Every single person in this world has a different perspective on life and we can learn from all of them.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It's about time I updated this. I've surfed a bunch of places now, from Amsterdam with a couple who have become my friends, to Portland, Oregon to Montevideo, Uruguay twice! Ricardo in Montevideo is also a great guy and has become a good friend. I've surfed in Paris, Tokyo and Cork, Ireland and hosted people from places around the world. CS has helped me experience many wonderful things and I look forward to hosting and surfing more.
Interests
Anything and everything. Traveling, music, movies, and reading all allow me to experience things I otherwise wouldn't and see the world from another person's point of view.

Music, Movies, and Books
Just about everything. My favorite kinds of movies are the rare ones that have unpredictable endings, Swordfish, Revolver, Snatch, The Big Lebowski. I have been reading a lot lately, everything from A Chance to Make History to The Forty Rules of Love.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Having a wonderful 5 year old nephew and a 2 year old niece with whom to discuss the meaning of life. Besides that they would all include trips that I have taken around the world.
Teach, Learn, Share
Everything happens for a reason, try to accept things as they come along and just "roll with the punches."
What I Can Share with Hosts
Stories, ideas, thoughts about the world. Oh and I love to cook.
