CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a better place. Concretely.

ABOUT ME

I love people. I love meeting people and seeing new places and new ways of life that are different and the same from my own. I love learning new things and having moments where I find myself thinking 'is this really happening?' I love sharing and listening. I am recently back from a year long adventure, trying to find my place in the default world again. I will look you in the eyes and smile.

PHILOSOPHY

Hakuna Matata (it means no worries!)
A smile can go a long way...
That which we manifest is before us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and I host. I attend functions. I expound on the greatness. I encourage people who are on the fence. I tell interesting stories and take my couch surfers out to meet my friends. I love the idea of non direct reciprocation. The good that gets put into the world comes out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Morocco. Vietnam. Czech Rebulic. Cambodia for Christmas once...40ish countries in total. Hosted people from Taiwan, Aus, Germans on car trips, and Americans looking to relocate. Hosting for almost two years...maybe 200 surfers at this point? My guest book full and falling apart and beautiful.

Interests

Traveling, meeting new people, seeing new places, eating really good food, Burning Man, the stars, speaking languages, campfires, children, swimming in the ocean...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A flight over the Nazca Lines in Peru was so incredibly humbling. It reminds me that science can not explain everything, and that it is better if there are always pieces of our world left to the imagination.

Teach, Learn, Share

My offering comes in the way of good spiritedness and love. Everyone wants to feel worthy and loved, even if it's just in a smile or a hello from a stranger.
