CURRENT MISSION

"There is no such thing as exaggerated art. There is salvation only in extremes."

ABOUT ME

Discovery is the key word here, and travelling i guess is the method to my madness.
I suppose i will define myself by the things i love to do the most.... for in my opinion, the rest is all subjective. My passion lies in rock climbing and i hope to travel the world meeting people to share a rope with along the way. I am also a struggling artist (more mentally than physically), a telemark skier (because its all about the aesthetics), and an aspiring surfer. I seek to put myself in uncomfortable situations everyday of life by constantly seeking out new challenges and adventures that will help me to grow. I dig the calmer moments of life too when I have the opportunity to slow down a little, sit back, and enjoy the company of friends...

PHILOSOPHY

Simplicity mixed with extravagance... it is an oxymoron and a bit hypocritical, but it is the easiest way to put it. Why do i live the way i do? Because i wouldn't be happy doing it any other way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just spreading the good word at the moment... But, I have decided to give a little spiel from what I see/want couchsurfing to be in my reality. I am not here to host people rolling in at 10pm and peacing out at 8am. I am not a rest stop and if this is your plan, please dont ask me because I will respectfully not grace you with a response. I like people that are rolling into town for a few days and want to check it out. Dont get me wrong, you are not obliged to hang out with me, but please dont come just to use my facilities either.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Newbie to the community... The french couchsurfers who have hosted me in my new found home have been too kind.

Interests

Jumping out of airplanes has become a new past time for me. I have 20 something jumps so far
Slacklining is also one of my favorite rest day activities.
Leaning to play the harmonica... slowly :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Its all in the eyes of the beholder... Lets hang out and we can trade stories

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook up a storm for those close to me... my friends will never go hungry... plus, I am shy, so through the stomach is a good way for me to reach people.
I can construct and then make fire with a bow drill set like the Native Americans have learned to do in the Utah desert.
I can juggle three balls on my slackline (sometimes)... oh la la, and can kinda walk on my hands. I can also unicycle... I'm starting a circus if you want to join ;)
