CURRENT MISSION

Be positive. Leave this place better than I found it.

ABOUT ME

Life's a Great Dance. Doing my best to enjoy it every moment. I spend most of my time in the dojo or out in nature. I've been training in Aikido for a 3 years now and Kung Fu for 1. I love to dance. I also love to spend time out in Nature hiking, exploring, or just sitting quietly.

PHILOSOPHY

An old fella once told me "Boy, it's your life, you best be the one to live it."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING.

I really like connecting with people and getting to know a place through their eyes. I love adventure and sharing fun and unique experiences with new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Made it coast to coast here in the states, then took off for Ireland, England, and Scotland. I've met great people everywhere I went. I feel privileged to have had a wide variety of experiences. Small farms to apartments in the heart of the city. Huge festivals to milking cows. The times I enjoyed most were when there was a sense of ownership of the moments we created together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived in the PNW Forest for a week with just the clothes on my back...with 25 people (everyone survived.) I lived on a Wolf Sanctuary for a month. I lived out of my backpack for a whole year; hitchhiking in the US and UK.
