About Me
CURRENT MISSION: Do as you will...
PHILOSOPHY: I believe in living every day to the fullest. Working hard during the week and relaxing on the weekends. I live life to explore new places and experience new things. Change is good
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING: Surfed a lot in the early days of site, hosted a few folks from around the world, and am back on a traveling binge and hopefully more surfing!
WHY: To meet new people! To get a feel for whatever city/town I'm residing in. Much better than a stuffy impersonal hotel

Exploring: Hiking, Backpacking, Kayaking, Climbing and anything else that sounds exciting.
Writing: Thoughts, ideas, and so on.
Cooking: May enjoy eating more, but hey gotta start somewhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Slept under the stars in the Grand Canyon, white-water kayaked in the Smokies, floated down the river Aare, hiked along Lake Namtso, evaded bears and survived...
Nature stands out the most.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know a lot about psychology, the mind, the brain and enjoy sharing and discussing it.
Also am a big fan of lucid dreaming, if you don't know what it is or wanna learn more about it ask. Would love to research this more in depth in the future.
