CURRENT MISSION

To live out my life fully and completely, to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream..." (Oscar Wilde)

ABOUT ME

I have zombie dreams. A lot. Like a lot.
I've fallen asleep under water. For real.
And I never do up my shoelaces.
If I even wear shoes. Which is rarely.

I can't not travel, I'm usually gone or planning where I'm going next. I'm a scuba diving instructor, an archaeologist, a brazilian jiu jitsu fighter, a crazy person, and a lot of fun. I love languages, I love the outdoors, and I love anything that has a chance of getting me injured.

PHILOSOPHY

Personal philosophy? Go big or go home. The things you're scared of are usually the ones that are most worthwhile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted couchsurfers twice before and each time was super fun. It's pretty sweet to teach someone something about your home that seems so trivial and mundane to you, but is novel to them. Example, teaching a Swede that our milk comes in bags definitely put a smile on my face.
I've also stayed with couchsurfers in Spain and found that it was a great way to meet people and get a real feel for the place you're visiting.
