About Me

CURRENT MISSION

create a giant playground in the costa rican jungle!!

ABOUT ME

All about me? thats a tough question, so we'll keep it simple. I like to visit new places, and make great friends; pretty standard stuff! I'm into art, music, food, design, love, hiking, biking and anything new.

PHILOSOPHY

What ever is, is what should be. even when things seem kinda ridiculous, i'm content with my life and everything that comes my way. Even when i'm living somewhere, i act like a tourist. everyday is new, beautiful and breathtaking. ideally anyways :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm pretty new to the couch surfing scene. I've been a host to a few great people on my farm in (puerto viejo) costa rica and i love taking visitors! I travel frequently, and i'm hoping to meet some new and amazing people on my next adventure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've played host and guest a few times, i love cooking and keeping up after people, and i love coming in and enjoying life with new friends. I cant wait to get MORE couchsurfing experience.

Interests

I love art and design, in all forms! interior design, fashion design, visual and sonic production, 2d art, 3d art, 4d art, dance and anything else that makes me FEEL. I love a good conversation, about really anything. i'm crazy about live music... literally fanatical. I love food, so much; cooking and eating. i'm also an embarrassingly enthusiastic bookworm... i devour novels. and good coffee. i can't do with out it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most movies; their moving art! i even enjoy really bad movies. don't get me wrong, i don't sit around and watch movies all day, in fact i often times don't have the attention span for a whole movie, but i enjoy them when i get to see them. Im crazy about music and i'm not real picky; i figure if someone put effort into making something that they thought was beautiful, then its worth listening to at least once. my fave bands are numerous and i won't list them because they frequently change. few books warrant my praise although i read too much. i love tom robbins, robert ardrey, uptown sinclair, victor hugo, charlotte bronte, and charles dickens. i read a lot of historical stuff too, especially anything that has to do with law or economics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

waking up everyday, wherever i am, is the most amazing thing that comes to mind... anything more specific than just being alive will diminish every other moment, and truthfully i've had just as much fun sitting around with friends as i have had cliff diving in argentina soooooooooo

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to be a sort of blackbody of information; in other words, i want to learn everything. on the other hand, i understand that the body of info collected is ever expanding, so i usually focus on just a few types of information at a time. i think information is power, and to share it is to share power. so i'm into that :). i don't know a lot, i never will know enough, so i'm into sharing!

Countries I’ve Visited

Afghanistan, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, United Arab Emirates

Countries I’ve Lived In

Costa Rica, Mexico, South Africa, United States
