CURRENT MISSION

surround myself with passionate people

ABOUT ME

I have lived in Houston my whole life, but love to travel and explore other cultures.

I love being active and outdoors. I am drawn to water and like wakeboarding / wakesurfing.

7 years ago I opened New Living, a green building and home store that focuses on non-toxic options for the home (paint, flooring, countertops, etc).

Recently opened a craft beer garden in midtown houston. www.axelradbeergarden.com
That keeps me pretty busy.

Since I work for myself, I can take some time off when I want, but tend to work more than an average person. I guess thats what entrepreneurs do...

It’s just me and my dog, and a cat and 35 chickens and 2 ducks (got a bit carried away during Covid)

PHILOSOPHY

My mantra is "Work like you dont need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, and Dance like nobody's watching."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly host. Tried to couchsurf in India, but hotels were cheap so I met up with some people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really enjoy taking time out of my life to meet cool travelers and show them a side of Houston they dont really read about (although Houston is getting a lot more good press lately).

Interests

I love helping people start businesses. Working with passionate people energizes me and lets me vicariously be a part of their mission.

• dancing
• beer
• gardening
• traveling
• painting
• outdoor activities
• wakeboarding

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went Island hopping in Croatia.

Teach, Learn, Share

If we can swing it, I love to take people out on the lake and teach them wakesurfing. Its not too hard and I love watching people ride their first wave.
I also like to share hole in the wall places and cool experiences in Houston.
