CURRENT MISSION

To admit that life is a far better storyteller than I am and to just allow it to do its best.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going guy. Grounded, yet adventurous. It's very rare that I meet someone I don't get along with easily and I'm a good house guest.

I try to live my life in the moment and rarely let inhibitions get in the way of an opportunity to learn and explore.

I hate tourist attractions, enjoy interesting cities, but mostly like to be out in nature or connecting with locals and other travelers.

I LOVE good food.

PHILOSOPHY

Go with the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just signed up, so for now I'm looking for a couch to surf on. When I get home, I'll be happy to host lots of surflings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hitchhiked through the US for 6 months once, so I ended up on a lot of random couches. The strangest was when I slept in the trailer of two guys who had just gotten out of prison. They were nice enough, but they kept me up all night sharing some horrific stories of stuff they had done.

Interests

Photography, playing music, making pottery, tai chi, buddhism, India, yoga, nutrition, travel (duh).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently went on an intense trek in the Himalayas with almost no preparation. It was terribly foolish in hindsight, but it certainly made for an exciting race against starvation, injury, and hopelessness.
