About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live a fun, interesting, & exciting life with no regrets!

ABOUT ME

I am an unique individual with fun stories. Have lived a fun/interesting life. At times, I feel my life is like a movie. Or heck, a good book can be made out of the experiences that I have encountered.

In a nutshell. From the hood, to 27 countries and 5 different continents filled with adventure, love, excitement and unique encounters. Each experienced encountered has made me who I am today!

PHILOSOPHY

I am very passionate on Indigenous issues. Particularly, social/environmental justice, and education issues. Most of my entire work career has been directly related to working with Indigenous peoples (worldwide and within the USA). I am quite familiar working with non-profits and the government.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am fun, positive, love to laugh/smile, athletic, smart and good natured.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Zero. yet, I am familiar with the community. Being a world traveller, I have become familiar with couch surfing.

Interests

...As mentioned, I have never done couch surfing. Yet, only recently was I introduced to another couch surfer who only lives a few blocks down from me. Apparently, we have lived within the same proximity, and have been on the same trajectory throughout our lives, and we ended up living near each other. Spooky?!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Live life with a positive outlook and surround yourself with positive people. Positive attracts Positive.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done many amazing things. Two that come to mind.
1. Sky dive 1200 feet in Queenstown, New Zealand over the Remarkable Mountains. I did not tell my parents nor friends, until after. After, I facebooked it and lived to tell the tale! I am risk-taker in that sense!

2. Paraglide off of the Andes Mountain, Bolivia. I paid $10.00 USD for the jump with tatty clothing and a parachute that you weren't too sure of. Once again, I took a risk. Live to tell a tale!

Teach, Learn, Share

While traveling, you always meet interesting people. People from all different walks of life. I enjoy a person who can make me laugh, sees the cup half-full, and adventurous-a person who is not afraid to take risks.
