I'm a passionate person. Easily excitable, caring by nature, adventurous and grateful for life.

Traveling and living at the fringe of society has allowed a great number of interesting things to occur!! I have been like a sponge, picking up everything along the way, but without losing my independent focus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an amazing community that has opened up huge possibilities when I've traveled and brought fresh eyes and experience to my home when I've been settled.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Connected deeply with others. Fell in love with the world. Felt apart of it's beauty.

I enjoy challenging myself as it leaves a big impression upon memories and personal development. Often this looks like walking, cycling, or hitchhiking unusually long distances. I can put up with a lot of suffering, and in a way thrive within it... (really just a human quality!)... I am tenacious as a person, this gives me a certain integrity with my choices and actions.

Teach, Learn, Share

"If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room." my grandfather's words

I have found Truths in life to be simple and lighthearted in quality. I value truth, and believe it exists, like an invisible web we may only glimpse fragments of at a time.
