CURRENT MISSION

Discover how different people live their lives differently than I do

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and experience what this world has to offer. I'm outgoing and adventurous. I love music. Really anything is good to me. I play the piano, the bass, and the stereo. I like to be active and get out and do live my life to the fullest. Carpe Diem is my motto.

PHILOSOPHY

So far in my life the personal philosophy I've developed is about treating others like I want to be treated. I'm trying to love everyone. Dr. Seuss said this, "Be who you will be and say what you will say because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind". That's me right there. I'm just trying to be me. I'm also a christian -- I'm trying to put God and others before myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For right now I'm trying to do as much as I can. I'm living in a house with a couple other guys who are uncomfortable with other people that don't know sleeping here, but I'm more than willing to get some coffee and show you around if I'm available and you're willing. I would love to be able to couchsurf when I go abroad in the coming year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2009 I traveled across the U.S. and unofficially couchsurfed/slept in our car/in vacant lots in Boulder. We met great people and it opened our eyes to the generosity of others. Music is a passion and so if adventure and freedom.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure if I'm really an expert in anything that anyone would really want to learn. I play the upright bass and I know how to crochet hats and climb rocks too. I'd like to learn all kinds of things. I'm really into cooking. If you could teach me how to make a dish from your culture I would love that. Anything would be great really.
