Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To trust the universe and believe I’m exactly where I need to be.
ABOUT ME
I’m an entrepreneur who believe in making other peoples ideas real. I enjoy connecting with others on a deep level and sharing life experiences that help us grow as people. I focus on being present with the moment and enjoying the journey of life. I imagine a world without judgements, that’s filled with an infinite number of possibilities, and I am just one of those possibilities, and I have little control over what will happen, so... I simply relax.
PHILOSOPHY
Meditate to stay balance and present - imagine first - share your ideas - reflect on your action - remember to focus on the things you can control - be ethical, think holistically - the cure to judgement is finding things interesting - stay lost to keep life fun
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I surf because I love people.
The internet is allowing like minded people to connect instantly. People who love people and care about culture and food more then hotel sweets can find themselves deep in conversation at the cost of a couch for the night.
I surf because I travel for the cultural experience, which to me means the people who live locally.
If it’s convenient and available I would choose to share my time with someone local and “do less" then share it with a tour guild and "see more. "

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I hugged a man and absorbed his pain and suffering, what was amazing was physically purging his pain and suffering afterwards as I walked away.
A man was sitting all alone inside the temple at Burningman. I could feel his heavy heart and that he was in need of something. I didn’t really know what it was, but without saying a word I walked toward him, and before I was closes enough to learn anything new about him he stood and embraced me and started crying.
He squeezing me into him and I received his weight.
His face and tiers were muffled by my furry skunk outfit but we stood for together exchanging our essence with one another for some time.
I waited in silence and made no gestures that would infer needing to be anywhere of do anything. I just focused my body and mind on him only and listened to every breath he took.
When he was finished he placed a small bead into the palm of my hand and hugged me one last time. I walked away and the moment I left the temple tears begin to poor over my cheeks uncontrollably. I could feel all his suffering being released from my body. It was full of pain but it felt euphoric.
I’ve been in Rolling Stones Magazine,
I’ve dove a 100 feet and swam with 6ft turtles,
I’ve busted drug dealers in the caribbean, and
I consider myself to be in love.
But this moment, with this man who’s name I’ll never know, was amazing.
Teach, Learn, Share
Art, Tech, Biz
These are the three things that power my life.
Art - is an extension of our selves and how we see the world.
Technology - an extension of our spirituality, and our desire to connect.
Business - the way we share value in society, and communicate that value between one another.
