About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ride the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

ABOUT ME

I love experiencing life. I've been south of mainstream since Highschool, and haven't looked back since. I've never been into TV, instead preferring friends, music, reading, video games, and millions of personal projects. Although witty banter is fun, what really excites me is diving deep into the dreams, goals, and experience of another soul. Currently abroad experiencing approximately 240% more life than I did in America.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm working on this one. Here's a teaser: Repression of desires leads to suffering. Using the tool of honest communication, you can even test out your desires to see if they're healthy or not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I'm mainly a surfer. I'm kind of working on breaking free of all of my perceived fears and limitations. Scary, but liberating.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I basically don't ever plan vacations around touristy events or places, so all of my personal vacations have been couchsurfing to some extent or another. I prefer to find people to stay with through social networking, but have had enough good experiences with this site to use it as an excellent way to meet new people.

Interests

Right now, I'm primarily interested in fostering, developing, and cultivating great friendships with people from all walks of life. This is the result of a lot of inner-space work. I'm getting back into music production, and recently had a chance to learn to snowboard and ski. Meditation, spirituality, buddhism, yoga...

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an electronic music fan. Imogen Heap is a genius. Second to that is usually one or two people playing music and singing. Not into bands at the moment. More of an acoustic fan. I'm a fan of self-help books as they're often the applied science of social scientists and philosophy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ayahuasca.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm kind of becoming some kind of spiritual guru. Not really by choice, but simply as a result of my life's experiences that I've lived through.
