CURRENT MISSION To live simply that others may simply live - and enjoy doing so! ABOUT ME I like spending time outdoors, playing music, traveling, and meeting and learning from people. PHILOSOPHY Everyone has something to teach. Every human being is valuable, though some do not realize or have lost confidence in this for one reason or another. My highest calling in life is to see the value in each person and see them and love them for all they are meant to be, even if they have not attained it yet. After all, neither have I. There is so little I can know, yet so much left for me to learn or re-learn.
Interested in Adventure Sports

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING By being willing to host and hopefully to finally have a guest travel through one of the out-of-the-way places that I tend to live, and by being ready to share a moment of life together with anyone, be it through hosting, surfing or just meeting up. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE By now, I've had the pleasure of staying with many hosts in many places over the last six years. Doing so has resulted in some of the best memories and experiences I've had during travel.
Music, Movies, and Books
The Allman Brothers Band, The Doobie Brothers, Eric Clapton, and some newer pop/rock/folk groups that I am not familiar enough with to name. Slumdog Millionaire, Forest Gump, Across the Universe, My Name is Khan, and many other that I can't think of right now. The Lords of Discipline, Catch-22, The Great Divorce, The Hobbit. I should read more.
My Interests
Music, travel and world peace.. or at least whatever I can do to further it. Open conversations, home-cooked food, sustainable (or "regenerative") use of the world's resources, and learning and relearning to focus my energy on straightening myself out on the inside and trusting God to take care of the external situation.
