CURRENT MISSION

radiate good energy.

ABOUT ME

I relish sharing quality experiences with people, either old friends or new. I really like spending time outside, but I also enjoy reading, I don't own a TV- I'd rather be exploring the world in real time. I love being out of the house, whether it is in the forest or in a jazz club. I love exploring new places of all sorts. I like to think, and hang out with people who like to think, even if we aren't always having deep discussions.

PHILOSOPHY

We've all got a lot to learn. I'm learning unique lessons everyday, this is what makes life beautiful, even when this beauty is in a difficult thing.

Express unshakable peace.

"I really think that the key to all of this is balance, yes balance is what we need." -A. Hazlett

"Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything." -Mother Teresa

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing helps create a strong global community because community happens through shared quality experiences. Psyched to host when I can, psyched to bring something to the table when I surf with you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted and surfed a dozen times, looking forward to doing so a lot more in 2011.

Interests

Being outside, living simply, enjoying life, learning more about myself, climbing, running, anything on a bike, meeting new people.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is probably more about sharing than teaching- I play acoustic music on bass and cello, sometimes solo, sometimes with other people. Few things make me happier than sharing music with people who are excited to listen. I've introduced quite a few people to backpacking and climbing- it's always fun, but sometimes not what people expect.
I like sharing my life on my blog:
