About Me

CURRENT MISSION

looking to explore the wonders of Brazil in June/July

ABOUT ME

I'm adventurous, enjoy travelling and meeting new people from all over the world. I went to school in Thailand for school and while it was hard, the experience was fantastic. I play the african drums in my spare time and seem to be somewhat of a hippie from another age. I'm a pescatarian not sure how you spell it but it's like a vegetarian just add in fish. I enjoy the ocean and all things about the beach. Find me on FB.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short so I try to make the most of it, being careful about my actions for you never know who you may bless or touch if given the chance. Be kind to others and move through life with purpose.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm available to come have a drink or hang out until I get my couch available for visitors, it will awesome to meet others coming into town. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world. While I'm new to it, I think it's an amazing idea and so grateful for Couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've always enjoyed meeting new people from all over the world. A friend of mine and I went CS for the first time in Boston. I've tried before but the time just never worked out while travelling like in Bali or first moving to Thailand. My apartment in Chiang Mai was way too tiny and my school schedule too hectic to entertain.
It was so awesome to arrive somewhere and have someone you've only met on line waiting for you. I will totally surf again.

Music, Movies, and Books

I seem to have the movie taste of a 13 yo. boy. My books are mostly sci fi, fantasy mixed in with philosophy, bios, and health care books. I'm a Trekie. My music taste is rock, reggae, trance, dance and blues.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hugged tigers while in school in thailand, went ziplining, climbed Mt. Batur in Bali on Christmas morning, played with a sun bear and hung out with elephants, went white water rafting on the Russian River. Hiked Machu Pichu and rode on a llama. Swam in the beautiful ocean waters of Goa and greeted wild cows and pet elephants on the beach.

Teach, Learn, Share

I learned thai massage to add to my other methods of massage, be happy to share this or exchange something. I like to cook asian food and am interested in learning how to make indian and middle eastern dishes. Would love to learn the basics of playing the digeredoo. If someone has pets, I'm good at training the basics of a good pet in the house. I have three kitties now, so think they would object to having a pet to also come surfing.
