CURRENT MISSION Leaving the wrold a in a better state than I found it. Reclamation from the trash cycle and community support. ABOUT ME Life is too short to blow it all working yourself to death. I LOVE meeting interesting people on adventures, to dance, swim, raft, paddle, drive, BS and sing. I'm pretty okay at the other stuff not so much about the singing. I started my own business a couple years ago and it's doing very well. So I spend more time working than I used to but I'm happy too. It doesn't even really feel like work other than the manual labor part. For me fixing stuff is super fun I'll forget to eat. PHILOSOPHY Most of the best personal growth always comes through general inconvenience (I have slept in a news paper boxes when required) that's just how it works but whats the point of the journey if you can't share it with those around you. I may never see you again but I won't forget you that's for sure. Big fan of universal randomness and drop of a hat adventures and it's always hard to come home.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Fluent in English

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have always hosted when I can. And then surf when I travel to towns. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE It is so nice to have an organized group like CS. I have done lots of unofficial couch surfing just by meeting people out and about but that can get dicey fast.... But overall great!
Music, Movies, and Books
ALL music has a purpose although I just can't get into smooth jazz....and I do like my classical masterpieces with a 120 BPM...anything live is rad. Love lots of movies. Good ones some really cheesy bad ones....blow stuff up ones, funny ones even better laughing makes me feel whole.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Random Acts of kindness and self sacrifice always get me good.... Something from the person ahead of me in line buying groceries for someone who would have had to take things back. To someone pulling someone out of the street who would have been hit..Ever drove in Manila? It's that crazy. I think kindness and empathy are at the center of my human experience.
Teach, Learn, Share
I fix all the paddle gear, I can teach the shit out of that. I can get ya out on the river too. I have gear for days. Enjoying the day and nonsense. I also excel at those 2 things. And I’m also interested in learning everything…. Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!
