About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tryna change the world

ABOUT ME

I've seen a lot of the United States... plus most of the national parks. I'd be happy to advise anybody trying to see this beautiful country. Additionally, I've lived in Beijing, China, and been to many other Asian countries as well (Bangkok, Thailand, Cambodia, Tokyo, India, a handful of others..) Would be pleased to help anybody in the area.. Best of luck to all. Life is best lived on a whim ya know. We've got one shot right.. this is no dress rehearsal.. so let's get movin

PHILOSOPHY

One life.. No re-do's. I'm excited to see it all, and thrilled to share it with anybody that can appreciate the simplicity and complexity of it all with silence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's all give and take ya know. Karma exists. If I've got some shelter to share, it'll be shared. Otherwise, I'd love to borrow a couch for a night or two, or perhaps a hard wooden floor so I can buy you a drink instead of spending an insane amount on a hostel or hotel.. Meeting people is much better anyway. Get at me if you'd like a good conversation. I'd love an experience you could share with me as well.. any shelter is a bonus

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Made it through Europe... that was an epic endeavor.. And met some great couchsurfers in Brazil too. Loved meeting everybody I did as well.

Anything Tasteful

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, and Vietnam within two weeks.. seeing Angkor Wat, the War tunnels, the Mekong Delta, the Mekong river on a speedboat, tripping on shrooms, longneck indian tribes (Longneck Karen Tribe), the Golden Triangle, Kanchanubri Thailand getting attacked by a tiger (don't believe me, see the picture on facebook), Training Mui Thai in Banglia, Bangkok, A Jungle Trak in Chang Rai, the Riots in Burma, A Minefield in Cambodia.. the list goes on.... Though I have seen, in the United States, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon (Better than the Grand Canyon.. seriously folks this will knock you over seeing this place), The Badlands, Crater Lake, The Grand Tetons, The Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore, The Redwood Forest, Colorado National Park, Garden of the Gods, Red Rocks, Yosemite National Park, Glacier National Park, Mammoth Cave National Perk, Niagra Falls, Wind Cave, Yosemite, Longwood Gardens (my back yard), Canyonlands, Arches National Park, Zion National Park, The Petrified Forest, and Mesa Verde. Seen the US of A and I'm moving on to the rest of the world. I'd be thrilled to advise anybody trying to see the United States on any adventures.. In the meantime I'm trying to see the world if you'd be willing to let me borrow your couch for a while...

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to survive in the wild, in a riot, in a fight, in a conversation, in a mental battle of wits, in an argument, in just about anything worthwhile.. I can share my knowledge about interpersonal communication with other human beings.. of any culture. I love to learn as well, and I know I have a lot of it to do. Open mind here, and I'm happy to learn new things every day.
