About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live more, love more, laugh more. Then write about it.

ABOUT ME

“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.”

PHILOSOPHY

Acquire knowledge. Take action. Repeat until successful...

There is very little worth getting upset over.

Life can be extraordinary if we let it. Most often, we're the only ones in our way..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If I don't have a couch available at the time, I'll try and set you up with a friend who does. Additionally, I've surfed a few times myself in the middle east and plan to do some more during my travels in Central/South America.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My inaugural couchsurfing experience was amazing and far beyond expectations. From scaling the old city walls of Jerusalem to watching the sun come up from a hidden hot spring on the edge of the Dead Sea, the only thing more beautiful than the evening were the people I shared it with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can't think of just one, but took a 12,000 mile roadtrip one summer around the USA/Canada, stopping to gawk at every national park in our path. Spent 2 months backpacking through Europe and an incredible 10 months backpacking through the Middle East/Asia.
