About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Increasing fun levels all over the world!!!

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun loving guy that LOVES meeting new people and making new connections with exciting, like minded (and different minded) people. I'm very adventurous and I'll try anything once... just ask me... I'm game. I've been to 23 countries so far and counting (coming soon to a country near you!). I believe in complete honesty in all situations. I also believe that respect must be given in order be received... do unto others...

PHILOSOPHY

Life is uncertain... eat dessert first.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I only recently learned of Couch Surfing through a friend that used to work at BaseCamp in SF and now helps with get the European Retail store in Punta Umbria Spain (thanks Tom!!!). I'm excited to participate in all sides of the experiment. I love the idea of sharing ourselves with one another for mutual gain. I'm a nomad at the moment (everything is packed away in storage back home) so no couch to share yet, but you can be sure I will be a host as soon as I'm able.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had one yet, but I'm excited to start!

Interests

Firedancing, music, new friends, intense connections, 3AM philosophy, festivals, different cultures, new slang, love!, passion in everyday life by living like there is no tomorrow.

  • festivals
  • cooking
  • traveling
  • music
  • surfing
  • business
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Drama, comedy (sucker for romcoms... I know... I'm a sap), independant (think "Once"), horror (love zombie flicks), dub, D n B, indie rock, electro... I'm kind of all over the map in my interests... I'm just plain interested.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've performed in front of 60,000 people, front and center at the peak of the Burning Man festival directly in front of Burning Man, within minutes of lighting him up. Breathtaking energy from the crowd and my team. Priceless.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach firedancing (fire eating, breathing, raking, poi, nun chuks, staff, sword, chain whip). I always travel with my gear.
I'm good with numbers, figures, planning and plotting the financial well being of a business.
I would like to learn more languages.
I would like to learn to be a better cook.
