Very conscious person. I am interested in connecting with similar people who are interested in finding what really maters in life. Working 40 hours a week in an office to pay for useless possessions as a consumer is not my idea of having a good life. I have spent much time meditating on what it is I want for myself and I keep coming back to LOVE. From the conversations I've had from the people I have met, I have formulated a way of life for me that will add time (via time dialation) and natural ecstasy. I'm a bit of a neo-hippie who wants to make the most of this precious gift of life while staying away from the cookie-cutter life the existing world wants me to live. I don't like to create issues and problems and I believe in letting people live the life they choose so long as it does not hurt another life. We should all have a positive impact on this world and the people around us. Finally, I believe my purpose in life is to just plant seeds in those I meet who care to share a conversation. A seed of curiosity...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am mainly surfing to meet like minded travelers while saving a few bucks and hopefully make long lasting friendships. I am about to embark on the greatest challenges I have created for myself which is to live in many places around the world. Connecting with people is on the top of the list. I have found that the perpetual travelers I have met and I share similar outlooks on life. These are the people I want to surround myself with.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy deep house and I suppose this genre is now sticking...playa tech. I listen to other music as well, anything that makes your soul feel good, but electronic is a fav. I also enjoy watching documentaries to constantly expand my foundation of knowledge. Lots of documentaries on space and space travel because it's the closest thing I have at the moment to actually being there unless there is a 3D IMax movie. I'm waiting for VR to become seamless and then I don't know what I'm gonna do. Probably flip out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Earned a championship trophy in armature road racing when I was 22 years old. After college I decided to build a racecar out of an Acura Integra and joined a local racing club. The class of cars was a Honda only class. I raced paycheck to paycheck while designing high performance racecar brakes at a company called STOPTECH to fuel my passion. This hobby only lasted a few years due to the cost to play. I made a wise decision to leave it to purchase a house but I think it was well worth it, especially because I won a championship doing it. I believe everyone should follow their passion!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a goal set for myself to visit as many countries as possible in the next 10 years. While I visit each country, I would like to absorb the culture and language, learn a musical instrument that the country gave to the world, and participate in something from that culture. When I leave, I hope to say that I got to know those people and their culture and they will forever be a part of who I am.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a beautiful handpan that I will travel with. I would love to teach you how to play it. If you play an instrument, maybe we can make music together. Maybe we can also ponder the origins of the universe together as well. I can also lend an helpful engineering hand if it's useful!
