ABOUT ME

Positive and adventurous

PHILOSOPHY

❝ A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world.❞John Le Carre❝ Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.❞Oscar Wilde❝ Fear is the thief of dreams.❞❝ Not all those who wander are lost.❞J.R.R. Tolkien❝ Go make something happen.❞Seth Godin❝ Ah, but man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for? ❞ Robert Browning ❝ We mistakenly vilify quitting. We believe ridiculous adages like, “Quitters never win…” And yet, most successful people are serial quitters. They are relentless experimenters, striving to find the one thing that they can champion. They set aside everything else, save that one special cause.❞Jeff Goins

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spend the first seven months of 2012 driving across the country with my road tripping/car sleeping/non-stop adventuring buddy Anne. You can read more about her in the first 16 or so comments on my profile, or here on her own: www.couchsurfing.org/people/anne.dorko

I've surfed my fair share and now I'm just waiting on a place of my own where I can host! Until then, I'd love to meet up for coffee/adventuring and spread a little home town, San Diego cheer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We met a ton of amazing surfers along our 48-state journey, people who made us laugh, shared their fondue, and reminded us that hospitality and adventure still exists out there.
