CURRENT MISSION

Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today.

ABOUT ME

I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.

And today I am happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the concept of CS, and participating in whatever way possible! My first experiences were taking people out for drinks in my hometown of Wichita, KS, but have since evolved to hosting/surfing with people from all over the world.I have never had a bad experience with CS, and I will continue to contribute to the community in whatever way I can going forward.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have experienced couchsurfing in most every way possible at this point. From taking people out for dinner and drinks in Kansas to hosting groups in Sydney. The favor has definitely been returned as I have surfed with great new friends from all across the globe on my travels!
