Hi I'm Zak! I'm 25 years old and from Wisconsin. I recently (June 2015) quit my job of 3 years to explore the world and myself. I'm currently doing a huge road trip of the US and am loving the newness and freshness of each day of this lifestyle. I left WI on July 14th, 2015 and am looking to stretch the road trip to at least one year.

I'm on a conscious spiritual path of awakening to who I (and we all) am/are. I'm passionate about working to shed the layers of destructive illusions that are put on us from society and life experiences and that hinder my true potential and no longer serve me. I'm determined to grow and get the most out of life. Developing courage to trust and have faith in the universe and my highest self is a big focus for me.

I believe in living a simple life in harmony with the earth. Eating healthy, yoga, meditation, and focusing on happiness within are big aspects of my life. I'm also interested in exploring natural/alternative medicine and sustainable living and agriculture. I've just recently created a WWOOF account and am excited to start doing volunteer work exchange on organic farms.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel cheap while immersing myself in the local culture of various places. To explore new ways of living and being. To meet new people, have new experiences; and share ideas, experiences, and views. To make new friends.
