About Me

ABOUT ME

Im out going like to explore new places and make new friends, I've back packed through much of Europe when I was studying abroad in Sweden. I switched to Poland half way through my studies to get a new perspective. What I learned was that I could live frugally in a land of wealth (Sweden) or like a king of the shanty (Poland) both of witch were life altering and rewording. I forged many strong friendships while abroad and I hope to keep them for life. More recently I decided after I graduated I would take a year off and work travel though I lived in California I was in the mountains skiing and camping and never had a chance to be a surfer or live on the beach, and there is just something primitive in me that told me to explore/live on the ocean so I chose Australia. I arrived in Sydney in early October. Recently started Video logging my travels just as a hobby for now with my go pro. Lover of good craft beers, deep talk about space religion and travel.

As a Couchsurfer the key word is Respect Nuff said

PHILOSOPHY

Pay it forward, be kind an open minded, but don't lose your originality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have only hosted, but hoping to change that as a back pack up the cost of Australia.

Interests

Traveling, skiing and snowboarding have been on skiing sense 3 years old , exploring where ever it might take me, hikes, Art galleries in the big city's (can spend hours just hanging out in them), Game of thrones and WoW back in the day. There is always room in my pack for my TRX.

Music, Movies, and Books

As cliché as it is star wars though I like to consider my self a hard core fan. As for books I did most of my reading when living in Poland because the internet was rubbish, so I turned to Syfy books like Hyperion, the forever war, the way of the kings. Generally books that excite the soul. As for music I'm in love with reggae, and still have a soft spot for house and dub step. But really I can listen to almost any thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 14 my troop Back packed though, desolation wilderness in New Mexico for 2 weeks covering over 100 miles, camping, building fires, finding off the bugs, Cooking all our meals traveling from camps to camps. PS lame as some think it is Im and eagle scout and proud of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

In the past I spent my summers at camps teaching kids how to swim/life guard and would be happy to show any one who would like to learn life saving techniques in the water.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Wine, good story's and good company. I'm always interested to try something new even if its a little scary.
