About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience the culture everywhere I visit and to share mine too

ABOUT ME

If it involves traveling, food, diving, swimming, hiking, or even any variety of the arts I'm interested, or at least I'll try it once. I like riding my motorcycle or in my Jeep. I've been a student for as long as I can remember, but there's still so much out there to learn and experience. And I can make some pretty good meatballs, which is my signature dish, so if I'm not out experiencing your culture, I'll make you dinner.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's a whim, live it....
Learning, tolerance, and understanding makes the world a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My friend told me about Couchsurfing and it sounds like what I've been doing anyway, so I figured it makes sense to sign up. My flat doesn't even have a couch right now, only some floor space. But if that's all you're looking for, great. Otherwise I'd like to check out some places I haven't been before and meet some cool people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been BenchSurfing at a hut near Linz, Austria. It was the best day of my life. CouchSurfing sounds more comfortable. I mostly stay with friends and family when I travel though. Good times

Music, Movies, and Books

Live music is the best, whether at a campfire or a big venue.
Everytime I watch a movie it's like a vacation for my mind, so nothing too heavy.
Letters to a Young Poet from Rainer Maria Rilke
All Ernest Hemingway books and short stories

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When scuba diving in Monterey, California at my favorite dive spot in the world, North Monastery Beach, I saw a seal chasing a leopard shark underwater. Probably the coolest diving thing I have ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

Every where I live or even visit, I try to become a part of that place. It's more than visiting a place to see a particular museum, statue, or painting. It's about looking through the eyes of the people who are there all the time. And at the same time, sharing the things you notice, that perhaps they have over looked or even forgotten about.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Bahamas, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland
