About Me

CURRENT MISSION

help people realize their full potential in life and be happy

ABOUT ME

I love to dance, laugh and travel...I'm super laid back and will always try everything at least once. Life is to short, you've just got to get out there and live!

PHILOSOPHY

Most importantly if you only ever live by one rule make it the golden freakin rule!!! Also Don't insist, don't resist. Remember honesty is always the best policy even when it seems like it can't be. Learn how to invest in loss. Stop caring so much about what other people think of you or what you think other people think of you, just be yourself. Do what makes you happy in life without hurting others. Think about your actions before you act and speak... you may regret something you do/say and not be able to take it back. Moderation/balance and attitude/perspective are the keys to a happy and successful life.

One of my favorite songs says it all...
I've got plenty of nothing, and nothings plenty for me. I got no car, I got no mule, I got no misery. The folks with plenty of plenty they got a lock on their door, afraid somebody's gonna go and rob em' while their out making more, what for? I got no lock on the door that's the way to be, they can steal the rug from the floor that's okay with me because the things that I prize like the stars in the skies roam free.

Most importantly do not react, instead respond. A response indicates a degree of presence and awareness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf whenever I can. I always try to couchsurf when I travel. I love meeting new people and helping out my fellow man whenever I can. I do not like to see any one left out in the cold.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love CS for all of the amazing and interesting people you meet thru this website! I was an Anthropology major so people and cultures interest me the most. I truly believe that the best way to get to know a place is through its people!

Interests

Dancing, Tai Chi and Martial Arts, music, traveling, laughing, bowling, sky diving, scuba diving, hula hooping, eating good food and drinking good beer... just about anything you can suggest. I am on a mission to live life to the fullest :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music, I know that sounds like a generic answer but its true I can get down to anything with a beat! I love reading too, all kinds of books from fiction to philosophy...love movies, especially those that make me laugh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking africa and europe, scuba diving and swimming with dolphins in the indian ocean, seeing some amazing shows both musical and theatrical. I am amazed everyday by the world we live in!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Share your knowledge and wisdom with anyone who is willing to listen. Gather as much knowledge and wisdom that you can along your way. There is enough in the world for all of us, greed will condemn you.
