CURRENT MISSION

Growth, self exploration, movement, contentment in lack of clarity around missions

ABOUT ME

Athlete, jock, hippie, intellectual, new age, skeptic, dancing explorer. Understanding nothing, trying everything. Bridging gaps, trying not to burn bridges :)

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is that of personal responsibility, that I am entirely responsible for my experience in the world, and that I am not the victim of circumstance or emotion. It is easier said than done, but I am in a constant and continual learning process of noticing where I subtly or overtly put responsibility for how I feel outside of myself, and then changing my patterns

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just beginning couchsurfing, though I have had many people, strangers, hitch hikers, friends of friends stay with me over the years and I always love the new experience, the way it breaks me out of my routine and peek outside more at the world spinning around me. I would love to host people when I return from my travels, as often as I am able.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None at all, as I am just beginning!

Interests

Almost better to leave blank so as not to negate things by omission. Dance, movement, honesty, breaking barriers both internal and external, feeling alive, writing, eating, hedonism, self denial, love, authentic feeling connection, making lists.

I love building and tinkering. I am currently working as a tree house builder on the show "tree house masters".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Let me count the ways....

Teach, Learn, Share

Perhaps over a cup of tea or on a couch we can teach, share, learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have visited many countries and travelled extensively and hosted many people. I am quiet, respectful of hosts space, time and energy, and I am always clean. I can offer any building or construction advice as I have been working as a contractor, albeit much of the work is in treehouses, for the last number of years.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Ecuador, Germany, Mexico, Morocco, Myanmar, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, Uruguay

Countries I’ve Lived In

Argentina, Brazil, United States
