About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet interesting people, discover interesting places, and grow from the many varied experiences and people I encounter along the way...

ABOUT ME

I am a coffee fanatic, enthusiast of most tasty liquids, and hope to one day own my own coffee/tea/beer/wine shop.

I have recently completed a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat, and seriously bro, it was life changing! Everyone should do it.

I'm pretty laid back, my motto these days is: "No rush, No worries, the universe has it all taken care of."

There is of course much more to me, alas, my fingers grow sore!

PHILOSOPHY

We are all one. The emptiness that is form, the form that is emptiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Aside from meeting people at random, and crashing at their place after talking for a few hours, I've yet to officially "couch surf".

As of 12/2013: I have gotten to know a cousin of mine, who herself was WOOfing up In Plattsburgh, getting a chance to stay on an organic farm with her (living in a tipi no less!) and got a chance to stay with a friend in Maryland. From these experiences, I've learned a lot about myself, and just how to be a better human in general.

I really do love meeting new people. I think having both an open mind, and a sense of humor have really helped me in this.

Interests

My interests are a bit varied, a few include, Zen, Poetry, and Coffee.
I love longboarding (even if I'm not too good at it) And I love deep, intelligent conversation.
And of course, who doesn't love getting crunk and watching funny youtube videos!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saved my fathers life, while incorrectly using an epipen :P

I donated my bone marrow to save my brothers life.

I can make latte art ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

1.I can give personal accounts of becoming one with the universe, and delving into the biochemical, psychological, and or course spiritual ramifications of these experiences.

2.I'm really into being healthy and exercise, and I know a lot about that stuff.

3.I'm sort of a Shaman, so I know a bit about herbal remedies, shamanic plants, and altered states of consciousness facilitated with and without the use of plant helpers

4.I could teach you Vipassana Meditation

5. I can show you the wonders that is fresh coffee!

I wan't to learn anything and everything, I am one curious cat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Aside from the usual story telling and general getting to know each other, I suppose I could share my knowledge of, and passion for coffee!
