CURRENT MISSION

to learn and live new cultures!

ABOUT ME

i am a 30 year old guy from medford, oregon, currently living in aspen! I enjoy traveling, singing, music, acting, dancing, exploring, hiking, learning new languages, experiencing new cultures, photography, marine life, oceans, rivers, helping people, working outside. i love animals and nature, and im a huge cat person. i worked on a farm in the netherlands, and on this farm they had about 20 savannah cats, which was incredible! im a strong willed young man with lots of passion for other cultures and travel, and am hoping to meet some like minded people and have some amazing experiences here on couchsurfing!

PHILOSOPHY

the only thing in life is to love, help, and be gracious for all you have, and share what you know and love with others. See everything, experience what you can, and be happy that you are you.

Nothing bad ever happens, things just happen. Its up to you on how you want to view the situation. If it feels bad or hurts, look at is as a sacrifice, something good will come out of it.

happiness is only real when shared.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ive only surfed so far! Looking forward to hosting some great surfers! I would like to make it known that I will not be accepting first time cs'ers or people without references.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

so far i have only surfed. throughout my surfing experience ive learnd that everyone is different, and you cant really couchsurf without being open-minded. While abroad I had many wonderful cs hosts and now that I'm back in the states I'm looking to return the favor!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

traveling to europe was most definitely be the most exciting thing ive ever done, but other than that, traveling through the u.s. and singing the national anthem at the University of San Francisco have been my highlights. other big things include seeing cirque du soleil, going to new york and seeing shows on broadway, and being able to live in the beautiful city of san francisco. spent 3 weeks in paris, and that was an incredible experience. ive studied french for 6 years, so to be in france, in paris, learning more of the language, the culture, the surroundings, etc was absolutely breathtaking. i was honored with the opportunity to go to the pantheon in rome during a storm. i stood under the oculous feeling the rain on my face, and the thunder outside. it was very magical, definitely a moment ill never forget. Going to prague and teaching English was an extremely wonderful experience. Stayin at the shambala on the south coast of turkey.

教，学，和分享

to save an opened bag of chips, candy, chocolate, etc, take the top section of a plastic bottle, cut it off, and feed the bag through the bottle top, then fold the bag over the top and screw the lid on.

i can share a song with you, as im an aspiring singer ;)
