CURRENT MISSION

Remaining focused on the positive aspects of duality, loving as much as possible in every moment

ABOUT ME

I enjoy talking/thinking about/experiencing everything from the meaning of life, internet marketing, serendipity, the future of work, nutrition, wine and cheese with anything, business ideas and why twitter is ridiculously awesome to whatever comes next.

Thing

My mood varies from introverted and shy to complete social butterfly, full of energy and a pulse you can feel from three feet away.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make of it. Emotions are the result of your thoughts and your thoughts are the result of your beliefs.

I'm learning to flow with life instead of trying to control circumstance... a beautiful lesson and an even more incredible experience.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I attend events, host people and spent a month in Europe and Africa helping shoot One Couch at a Time, a documentary about Couchsurfing.

If you're open-hearted, I don't think there's a better avenue to meet like minded people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My Couchsurfing career started in Italy. My first experience was actually awkward and unnerving, but I had to know what trusting a complete stranger was like, so I did it again and again and again. Now I get it. I have Couchsurfed in Italy, France, Morocco and beyond (think Burning Man).

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Most recently, I helped shoot OneCouchataTime.com and with that ventured to Morocco and France. Morocco was one of my favorite places. The contrast and similarity from my every day life at home was grounding and the Couchsurfers there made that possible.

Life is about the people that surround you. You can be anywhere and have a blast if the people that you're with are quality and fun.

I went on a 5-month adventure to SE Asia, Australia and Bali. During that trip, I bought a car and drove it up the East Coast of Australia. I also visited temples in Bali and volunteer to teach computer classes in a small village.
Lived in Florence for a little over a month. If buildings could talk, you'd hear whispers all the time.
Oktoberfest 2010 in Munich!

I love cooking. I also like thinking about business ideas and I'm pretty good at brainstorming ideas on how to change the world.

I'd like to learn to play guitar better and I'd be stoked to have a painting and wine night soon.
