About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find and experience beautiful places and people in the world.

ABOUT ME

Hi there! I am a lover of travel, motorcycling, hiking, speaking foreign languages, music, singing, occasionally playing guitar and piano, and healthy food, and occasionally attempt to create all of the above.

PHILOSOPHY

Self care is of utmost importance. Live and let live. I strive to follow the truth that I know deeply above the distractions of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people and surf myself when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted many people (I think in a 2-month block I hosted 30 people at one point), and I've surfed in Mallorca Spain, Winterthur Switzerland, Madrid Spain, Portland OR USA, and so many more places I can't remember. I've visited a number of CS mixers in different towns as well.

Interests

My interests are varied, but include riding my motorcycle, travel, hiking in the outdoors, finding beautiful places in the world, healthy eating (as I discover allergies in my system and heal old issues in my body), singing and occasionally creating music, playing piano and guitar, speaking foreign languages, what it means to be a man, and understanding what it means to be connected in this world to myself and others.
