Riding the waves of life and finding enjoyment. These days I lead a pretty calm life. I'm mostly interested in continuing to build my relationships with nature, myself, and others. I love to laugh and engage in deep conversations about life. I'm pretty easy to get along with and always open to try, listen to, or learn about something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think people that are local to any place are the best able to share it. I don't like staying in hotel rooms and talking to a concierge. I like sleeping on couches and floors, talking to people who call a place home and fitting true local activities and spots into my time anywhere. It's a bonding thing, and part of the reason I visit places is to connect with the people that call it home. And if I can provide that to anyone else, all the better.

Interests

Permaculture, Gardening, Nature, Views, Hiking, Scuba Diving, FOOD/COOKING, Live Music, Meditation, Psychology, Philosophy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love something that hits my soul. Some killer instrumentals even better. I've been in a real RnB/jazzy mood lately, but I'm up for most genres. Listening to music while cooking gives me life.

I read mostly nonfiction, but love a good fictional work. I usually use reading to expand my thinking and the way I look at life or my knowledge about a specific topic.
