CURRENT MISSION

Search and destroy? Mission sounds so millitary; I'm here to live life (no, I won't say to the fullest!), and hopefully benefit some other people along the way.

ABOUT ME

An introvert pretending to be an extrovert. Sometimes shy around new people, extremely comfortable among friends. Meeting new people fascinates me, and although I likely will never remember your name, I'll always remember who you are... I'm an anti-thrill-seeker who puts himself in situations that push me past my fears; if my gut says I'm too scared, but my brain knows it's safe, I ignore the gut.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to experience what there is to experience, and at the same time I try to help others in various ways; give back what I can to compensate for an already fantastic life.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Donated my time to the New Zealand couchsurfing collective, and I open my couch when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a great couchsurfing experience in Honolulu, Hawaii a couple of years ago. Took a hiatus, but finally did some surfing again while I was traveling New Zealand recently. Apparently the 3 people that have stayed with me (no, I haven't hosted much) have neglected to leave reviews.. so you'll never know how bad it is to stay with me ;)

Algo increíble que he hecho

I come from a family of couch-sitters, not surfers; so everything seems amazing to me. Hiking to the peaks of yosemite, trekking through switzerland, drinking with the locals in victoria; it's all good times
