CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is absolutely to spread as much love to my fellow humans as possible. Im continually trying to grow so that I may be of service to this world while Im here and to learn as much as possible because isn't that what life is about : )

ABOUT ME

Hello friends, a little about myself. I am currently traveling the U.S. and am excited for the opportunity to open myself up to new experiences and meet new exciting people that I wouldn't necessarily be able to meet if I were just staying in one town. I am a musician and artist and pursue yoga and other spiritual traditions. I am backpacking right now but am about to start the Intracoastal Waterway from Norfolk, VA to Florida in a kayak with a friend and am looking forward to seeing what this adventure has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm just trying to spread love and make the world a better place one interaction at a time with my time on this planet. I'm not trying to get too caught up in my own ego game because I know that I have a better purpose in this life than just being a consumer of manufactured goods. I hope that my life can be my message and that when my time is up here I will be thankful and hopefully have learned some beautiful lessons and spread more love than harm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been involved with CS for a few years now but just recently started developing my own account so it isn't as established as many of my friends and fellow surfers but I will continue to update it whenever I find internet access on the road. I have lived with many surfers and I always have used their profile to host and surf so now I am excited to get my account running. I generally host whenever I'm home and like to use the site to surf and meet people in areas Im not familiar with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met many amazing people through CS and expect to meet many more. My experience has mostly been hosting people out of my home in AZ through my friends and roommates CS accounts but we have gotten an eclectic array of people as I'm sure most people who host have. One of my favorite pair of surfers were a French Canadian couple who were visiting the Grand Canyon who we hosted for a day and played David Bowie covers all night.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sea Kayaked 400 miles from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Savannah Georgia in a 17' touring kayak and then hitchhiked with my boat from Georgia to Austin TX. The boat was bigger than the car : )

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been studying and learning esoteric knowledge traditions and spirituality so I'm always happy to share the information that I have gained through that. I'm also trying to work on farms during my travels and learn practical sustainability and survival so I'm more than willing to learn as much as possible about that and share what I know of course. I've also been studying consciousness and find it very fascinating and important and not really discussed in the status quo rhetoric so that is something I am interested in discussing also : )
