About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see what the world has to offer

ABOUT ME

I skate all the time and snowboard in the winter. Shoot photos as much as possible, read an occasional book and wish I had more time to draw. Thats me in a nut shell

PHILOSOPHY

Let the wind take you where it blows, follow what feels good and hold on to the ones you love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had one and it was absolutely amazing. My friend Nick and I were backpacking through Europe. We had left Italy and were on are way to Switzerland to visit my friend Angela. Only problem was she didn't know we were coming and there was no way for us to get in touch with her besides email. Nick and I had a two hour lay over at the Milan train station to try and get in contact with her. However, I spent most of the time skating this amazing ledge spot right out side the station. It came down to the last 30 min I sent Angela an email and set up my couch surfing account sending only one guy an email explaining how we might not have a place to stay and have no way to call until we arrive at 10pm. To cut things short. His name is Pascal and he let us stay with him for two days and the drop of a dimes notice. He even looked up our train arrival time and found out are train broke down twice and was 2hrs late. He came all the way to the station to meet us and walk us back to his flat. Which we would have never found on our own in a million years. Basically Pascal was our heaven sent completely saving us to the fullest. Oh and the icing on the cake. I found out the next morning we went to the wrong city... by six hours to far. Thanks Pascal if it wasn't for you I'd probably still be in a swiss prison cell.

Music, Movies, and Books

If you bob your head or move you feet it must be good music.
Theres nothing better then a movie on a rainy sunday afternoon or late night visit to the movie theater.
Reading is the best exercise for your mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew across the United Stats on a purple winged kangaroo. But I did it at night an nobody ever saw it. The Kangaroo moved back to the bush and we have sens lost touch.
