About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy It All

ABOUT ME

Lindsay and I have been together for over 3 years now and are now engaged! We both come from the same small town, knowing each others families for years, but had waited to align ourselves with each other just recently. We feel a connection to traveling and experiencing as much as we physically can. We look to be inspired daily, stay active, live with conviction, and seek adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

We try to have as much discipline as posssible when it comes to learning spiritual teachings and creating positive outlooks. However, it would be foolish not admit that we constantly struggle with our inner feelings on life, prosperity, and the past/future. We are just like everyone else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We haven't....yet :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are new to this!! No experience yet with this service! However, with our travels we have hopped around to friend's and family's couches, beds, air mattresses and floors!! :) Those all have been great experiences by far!

Interests

We feel the liveliest when we are traveling with no expectations, living simply ( minimal clothing, raw foods, laptop, cell phone, our cat Clifford, and books), meeting nice sincere people, helping others or making someone smile, visiting hotsprings, researching the newest stuff on health ( such as superherbs, superfoods), being inspired, being with each other, moving our bodies through either running, hiking, swimming, yoga, chilling at unique coffee shops, seeing beautiful sunsets/sunrises, reading, and the occasional cocktail.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fantastic film we just watched was Avatar!

We feel and decided that TV is no longer an essential part of our lives. Until tv shows, the news, and commericals can illustrate a world full of love, awe, and conscious living, it remains just a thing to consume precious time!
