CURRENT MISSION

I am currently backpacking all over the world with the goal to bless/serve the people of each country. China, Taiwan, Egypt etc. The desire to make a difference with a Purpose is what drives me.

ABOUT ME

Im currently practicing what I like to call Freelance Philanthropy, meaning, I just find people who need help with something I can help them with, and I help them with it in the name of Jesus. This year the goal has taken me to New Zealand, Taiwan, China, Mongolia, Israel etc. It has all been by faith and intercession that I have moved from place to place

I love working with children and Ive been doing it for a while. I love all ages and I believe they are the group that I can bless the most.
I have no significant other and no children. I love sports and music and I love impromptu jam sessions or sporting events.

PHILOSOPHY

-There is One who came to save us all. Forget what youve been told about Him. Do some research for yourself. Have enough stake in your faith not to by in to ANY hype-

-Do not let the echoes of the past drown out the screams of today-

-Nice guys finish last because they aren't competing with everyone-

-If you only do what makes you happy, you'll find yourself constantly putting yourself first. That's ok, until someone is more important to you...than you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I only have participated by surfing couches!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I actually have broken into the couch surfing life while being in Turkey and it has been awesome! After being a member for two years and crossing over thirty country boarders, yaaaay for Turkey being the first!

Interests

As I mentioned I love working with kids... but other interests are music and dance!!! I love to play music and to sing, and sometimes my passion for rhythm gets the best of me. I don't need to hear music because Ive always got a song in my head and on my heart!!
I love to write and I love making a difference. I also happen to enjoy new things and especially...NEW FOOD!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Max Lucado, John Eldridge, J.K. Rowling, Tolken, etc. I wish I had more time to dive into books, but Im poor at managing my time sometimes.

I cant get enough of soul, motown, and gospel music. I listen to music from all over the world and I love all music with harmony, soul, and rhythm!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done with my life is affect the life of a child. Ive been many places and seen many things, but I feel that because I have made a difference in the life of one other person, my life has not been a waste.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a passion for learning other languages and cultures. So whatever I can learn about the different ways the world works, I'm down for. I want to learn to speak more and more languages, but it definitely takes time if you are going to be efficient at it.
I love teaching people that it is more than just about them. Sometimes, we as a people get so wrapped up in what we have going on, that anything impeding our progress must be eliminated. I tip my hat to people that have their own families and still find time to give of that time to the needy, to the people that feel like they have no hope.
If we can forget ourselves for one second and put another person first, imagine the impact that can have on their life simply because they weren't expecting it.
We have more power to change this world than we give ourselves credit for, but we have to start somewhere.

And lastly, I love sharing with people what real Americans are like. Most people by into Hollywood or think that we are all rich, money hungry George Bush supporters. In my travels, I have been able to be a true spokesperson for my country and fellow Americans. This means first and foremost that I am not perfect, nor am I any better than anyone else.
But we are not what we are portrayed as. Many Americans would love to travel, but they get hints of how many countries despise them through know fault of their own, that if they do happen to travel, they will do so bearing the colors of another country to absolutely dissolve any connection with BIG BAD AMERICA. The truth must be told. Who we are is not who the world thinks we are.
Thats what I share.
