CURRENT MISSION

I strive to be a child of the world, to meet new people, and grow as a person.

ABOUT ME

friendly, adventurous, outgoing, happy, traveler, respectful, helpful, thrill seeker

Some of the major mountain peaks I have bagged:
^Mount Whitney 14,505 feet: is the highest summit of the Sierra Nevada, the State of California, and the contiguous United States.
^San Gorgonio Mountain 11,503 feet, is the highest peak of the San Bernardino Mountains and the third most topographically isolated California peak.
^San Jacinto Peak 10,834 feet, is the highest peak of the San Jacinto Mountains.
^Mount San Antonio (Mt Baldy) 10,068 feet, is the highest peak of the San Gabriel Mountains
And more than a handful of summits over 5,000 feet altitude in southern California

I've been all over the U.S. (except the original 13 colonies) so, I would like to experience the east coast and I would love to experience more world travel!
I went solo to Costa Rica and had an amazing experience, hiking through the cloud forest and Arenal volcano. Costa Rica has so much to do and explore. My photo's look pro but C.R. make's photography too easy.

I go to Cabo San Jose and Cabo san Lucas to party and relax with my friends, I also have gone to the high Sierras about two times a year- June or Mammoth for most of my life.
I love to travel, I love to eat. I love to learn, and explore. I love meeting people and embracing new cultures. I would love to do more of all of this... I strive to be a child of the world. Always asking questions, forever "wide-eyed", and humbled by the beauty of life, and it's true riches, our experiences. That being said, the everyday grind of life, increased cost of living, less pay with more hours, directly affect and interfere my pursuit of the only thing that truly stays with you forever, our experiences on this earth, with people, with nature. When you share such experiences with others, they live on, and grow as do you. Couchsurfing allows me to share some of my experiences with you, "the world" just like Our ancestors but with a click, not a campfire. Thus, allowing me to continue to be part of it, with eyes wide open... Thank You

PHILOSOPHY

to live life to the fullest, and at the same time improve the world, and enrich my life with people and nature. YES! I stop and smell the flowers but, I'm also an adrenaline junkie too, it just depends on what I'm doing, when... I value every second of every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

the plan:,
#1) save money, #2) plan trips #3) couchsurf #4) have a blast (good time) 5#) Pay it back, 6#) rinse, lather, and repeat.
I would love to find travel companions to travel with and it would be even better if they also want to learn about new skills, ideas, and approaches about farming, homesteading, earthen building & natural building techniques, volunteering, living off grid, renewable energy, travel, and community living, work exchange, other cultures and self-sufficient lifestyles and giving back.
