CURRENT MISSION

Think good thoughts, say good words, do good deeds.

ABOUT ME

I've been called an idealist, a gypsy, a hippie, a vagabond, an eternal wanderer...but I am simply a free spirit who has fallen in love with the word. I get high off of heart-pumping adventures and I get drunk off of stimulating conversations. I am an eternal optimist and I enjoy life's challenges. I love to explore people as much as I love to explore cities. My curious nature will always prompt me to ask uncomfortable questions, so deal with it. I want more than just a superficial/cordial connection with people. I want to feel something real.

PHILOSOPHY

"The most alive is the wildest. One who pressed forward incessantly and never rested from his labors, who grew fast and made infinite demands on life, would always find himself in a new country or wilderness, and surrounded by the raw material of life."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To give and receive positive energy because the world could use more of it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not knowing where you are going to sleep or who you are going to meet..that's the kind of traveling I believe in. The kind that unexpectedly sweeps you off your feet and stirs your soul. The kind that moves you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been homeless in Italy, I've been robbed in Costa Rica, I was almost traded for 1000 camels in Morocco, I've been caught in the rain, fallen off bikes, bitten by poisonous spiders, bled, cried...I've learned to appreciate the misadventures as part of the beauty of traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to be unapologetic about your life, because it's beautiful in all of its imperfections.
