CURRENT MISSION

I live everyday as if it's my last, observing the laws of karma, and I always floss, take my vitamins, and gravitate towards numbers divisible by three

ABOUT ME

I am non-categorical. I thrive on new experiences, genuine human interactions, and shared pleasures. I work hard and play hard, always striving for the right equilibrium. I think spontaneity is like fresh air and water, an element of survival. I also value freedom, and for this reason, I hope to someday provide for a safe, peaceful, and educative environment for a family in which our curiosities are not restricted by lack of resources. I believe in that indescribable spirit that transcends all vocabulary, race and religion. I exercise my mind and body. And I love a good piece of sashimi.

I have travelled to over 25 countries, too many to list. Some of my favorites are South Africa, Haiti, Guatemala, Bolivia and Thailand.

PHILOSOPHY

Of course, The Golden Rule, and as stated above...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I thrive on new experiences and genuine human interaction. I know there are so many people out there with my same thirst, my same heightened curiosity. This network is an incredible and convenient way to align those interests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of couch surfing, although up until this point, it's all been unofficial. One of my best friends, April, is in Brazil right now couch surfing for two months! When she told me about this, I knew I had to give it a go!

In case I am ever in the woods and I cut myself very badly, I would like to know how to suture a cut
