ABOUT ME If my friends were to describe me in one word, that word would probably be random. I have a ton of off-the-wall stories. I seek out experiences. I tend to learn about life the hard way but I like to use those lessons learned to help others. I love laughing and making other people laugh. I don't embarrass easily. I have no idea why my mind works the way it does and I often say things that take even me by surprise. Lol.
Interested in Design
Fluent in English
Learning Spanish

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people and sharing world experiences.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love deep house music, especially if it has a hint of sax in it. My favorite author is Don Miguel Ruiz. Books I love: - The Power - The Four Agreements - The Four Hour Work Week - The Art of the Start - Flow - Start with Why
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Sometimes I stare at my adorable puppy Maverick in all his adorableness and that alone leaves me awestruck. I once saw a homeless man eat a chicken bone whole. The Kitten Mittons video from Always Sunny is gold.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love philosophy and figuring out the universe. I also love talking shop (internet things) because I love what I do. I love learning about other cultures. I love trying new languages.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I'm a certified yoga instructor and sky diver. I know lots about internet marketing, social media marketing, growth marketing or whatever you wanna call it.
My Interests
I love learning new things. I want to know something about everything and everything about something. I think of life as a game and acquiring skills is like leveling up my character. I think that self growth is the purpose of life. Yoga is my deepest passion and the thing that's been the most transformative in my life. To deepen my practice, I just completed my yoga teaching certification. I like taking risks and doing all things active. I love going out and being social. If there's something fun happening, you can usually count me in. I design iPhone apps as a career. I feel blessed to have my job. I love technology and all things Apple. I spend a lot of time playing with my iPhone. Some call it ADD. I call it research. My world can be summed up in music. I'm on a personal mission to turn my life into one big festival.
