CURRENT MISSION Mexico! and taking buses south hopefully all the way to Chile. No time frame. Just life.

ABOUT ME

Sometimes I dance in front of mirrors. I hold doors. I laugh, a lot. People are born "good." I like to go out, maybe drink, be stupid, young. The metaphysical and philosophical are more than politics. I've been in love once. I like going to movies or watching a show(s)--cook together, eat together, and stay cheap. I am constantly amazed at how many wonderful people I meet. Starving dharma and expression. I try to be gluten free, try. I want to have fun, I want adventure, I want to explore. To experience life. I still haven't figured myself out, but I strive to. Sometimes it's okay to be alone.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone deserves a chance. Empathy. Being the change. Living by example is how to save the world. Being selfish so you can be selfless. Being kind. Talking things out. Banter, small talk, bullshitting is important, not everything has to be so serious. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Lean into discomfort. Be open. Be okay with being wrong. Forgiveness is a lifestyle, so is health. Just be nice.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed at friends or friends of friends places a lot. I'm used to sleeping on couches and floors. I'm low maintenance. I usually find a place somewhere and sleep without a tent. but I thought this would be fun. Mexicos been great for couch surfing, most of the time I just meet people who invite me over for days. I haven't needed the site too much. But I am really thankful for it!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Broke my back pretty bad without insurance, went to a chiropractor no doctors, I'm fine :)
I've had six surgeries.
Saved a dog from drowning in Chile. Went snowboarding in the Andies. Swam and drank from lake superior at the same time. Dug, covered, and camouflaged a hole in UP Michigan and lived in it for 2 months.
In the summers I work at an outdoor primitive survival school in Oregon called Coyote Trails School of Nature.
Lived in a house made of debris.
my entire life is pretty amazing, and I'm very grateful for it.
