About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Yolo...You only Live Once. See it all, Do it all, Life is to be experienced.

ABOUT ME

I believe in living life to it's fullest. My philosophy is try everything once(with a few exceptions ;-). If you don't like it...don't do it again! When I Work...I work Hard & When I play...I play hard. Sometimes hard enough to break bones...but hey, anything worth doing is worth doing right. When i'm not at work, at play or in a cast. ;-) I spend most of my spare time at Home Depot....kidding...but it really does feel that way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In 2008 I returned from burning man with a new found respect for connection with other people, the desire to meet others and seek out new experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to meet a couchsurfer I didn't like. I've also plopped myself on many a couch. Couch surfing is a wonderful way to meet new people and immerse yourself in a new place. I find it can be so much more rewarding then just staying in resorts.

~~~~OK. READ THIS PART - IT'S IMPORTANT!!~~~~
I live in tamarac. It is a part of Fort Lauderdale But it is the farthest West side of fort lauderdale, very close to the everglades. In a suburban area. I am about 30 min from the fort lauderdale airport and about 15-20 minutes from the beach by car. There are public buses where I live and if you took a cab from the airport to my house it would run about $50 bucks. If you want to stay with me, having our own car would be best. I may be able to pick you up...let me know if this is a concern.

Interests

I'd like to think I'm a well balanced, well spoken, fun guy... I enjoy Photography, Graphic design, Yoga, Drumming, Massage, Health, Fitness, kayaking, mountain biking, diving, snorkling, water sports, and inline skating. I've been practicing Martial Arts since I was seven and is a deep passion of mine. I also really like to flow. I enjoy world traveling, I'll go some place I've never been, just to go. I want to see all the natural and man made wonders of the world, the rainforests and nature preserves. Sometimes I have more of a kid-like alterier motive such as checking out a cool rollercoastar, waterpark, museum, zoo or festival. Oh, and Music, MuSiC, MUSIC!! I'll travel just about anywhere to go to a good concert!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
I am a huge movie buff. I've seen just about everything worth seeing and an bunch of films that weren't. My movie collection makes blockbuster look sad. I like animations, action, comedies, sci-fi, fantasy...and all these awesome adaptations of comic book characters. Keep up the good work Hollywood.

Music:
Yes Please. I'm into just about everything. So instead I'll just throw out a few genres: Avantgarde, alternative, classical, blues, classic rock, Electronic, Rap, R&B, Reggae, 70's, 80's, World....and Never forget the FUNK!!

I think my current favorites in a few difference genres would be the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, Peter Gabriel, Queen, Pink Floyd, Michael Franti, & Tom Petty.

Books:
Douglas Adams...Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy is my favorite series of books. Then Tolkien, Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert, Dan Brown, Terry Goodkind, Asimov, Piers Anthony, Jack l. Chalker, Homer & Joseph Campbell. I also have a deep interest in history especially pertaining to religion and mythology of different cultures.
