About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and share more with others. I recently quit my job as a software developer in hopes of building a better, fuller life for myself. I sold my house and started traveling, more or less full-time, in August 2017.

ABOUT ME

I was born under a desert sun, I came up in a garage of notes and dreams, and found my way to the east coast of the USA nearly 10 years ago.

PHILOSOPHY

I think people are given opportunities everyday to experience life. It is each persons choice how they respond to what is presented in front of them. With this in mind, we all have the ability to create/destroy, love/hate and share/take. While I travel and observer others living everyday it is a great reminder of the insignificance and importance of each person. Life goes on without you but life is nothing without you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new, interesting and like-minded people.

Interests

Hmmm... I like many things. Like music and crude forms of art. I like to play volleyball and ride my bike. Computers (and computer science) interest me very much for fun as well as a career (techno-ist). This is always changing a little but just ask me what I'm into right now.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies are great. Wes Anderson.

Music is amazing. Not sure what to list but I enjoy many types of music including Rock, Indie, Hip Hop, Electronic, Samba (seu jorge), Alt-country, and Rod Stewart.

Books are wonderful. I just started reading a few Sci-Fi books and found that I like them quite a bit. I used to think Sci-Fi was only for serious geeks but I think many of the best Sci-Fi novels should be read by more people. Start with Ender's Game. Great book for anyone to read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

El Camino de Santiago de Compastela. ¡Fue increíble!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm responsible and respectful of others. I like to help out where I can. Whether that be by simply being clean and courteous of others or helping out with a website or other technological needs. I'm also a pretty good listener.

While traveling in India I became a certified yoga teacher in Hatha yoga therapy. I would love to be able to share this skill with others and practice together whenever possible.
