CURRENT MISSION

To explore, meet interesting people and enjoy life. Very interesting in gaining knowledge of local wild and medicinal plants, farming and agriculture.

ABOUT ME

I love a lot.
Snowboarding, food, friends, art, yoga, good beer, music, new places, and exploring are just a few things. I'm in a really good place in my life right now and am ready to take off and do some exploring!

PHILOSOPHY

I am constantly searching for a better understanding of the human animal. My philosophy is to live honesty, live love, and see what happens! It keeps becoming more ovbious that love leads to more love, peace to moe peace, understanding to more understanding, so I try to live as harmoniously as I can with others and my environment, and hope to bring that quality to others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By surfing and hopefully hosting once I secure my own place-- I have attended a few CS meetups and forged some global life-long friendships as a result of CS. I can't think of a better way to see the world than by networking in such a fashion.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome! I stayed with two great couchsurfers in Greece a couple of years ago, and another in France. They were amazing hosts and great people. One of my favorite experiences was CS meet-up in Athens. It was great to meet so many people from all over the world.

Interests

My interests are way too many to list. Spirituality, snowboarding, yoga, hamsters, dancing, cooking all sorts of food, reading, Judaism, nature, meditation, tattoos, raspberries, painting and drawing, Hinduism, shopping, cycling, kayaking. I could probably go on forever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once when I was 7 years old I beat a group of 15 teenage to middle age men at a wrestling video game at Circus Circus in Las Vegas, including an older brother. 'twas Rad :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach almost as much as I love to learn! I would love to trade cooking styles with people from across the globe. I want to share my art, too.I am currently most interested in learning about various plant medicines, wild-harvesting, sustainable life-skills organic farming practices and social permaculture. I love to teach people about cooking and using different spices, and have also developed a knowledge of Jewish mysticism and physical and spiritual detoxification, organic cooking/eating with those who are curious. I speak conversational Japanese and hope to expand my ability through language partnering.
