About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
Travel - Travel - Travel!

ABOUT ME
I'm 33 (as of this writing) but not a day over 21 in my mind. My mission for 2015 is to visit 5 countries, and 30 states in the US. Not too lofty, but realistic. I've already marked off 15 states. Still on a mission to break out of the borders though.

I enjoy just about everything life has to offer, as long as it's not mundane. I've turned on my TV less than 5 times since January. I get bored easily. I like to rappel, rock climb, power kite, fish, scuba, hike, etc.

Summers in AZ are brutal to me, so I kind of hibernate, or leave. Leaving is the preferred option.

I work a normal work week, most times... but I have a feeling that when I'm finally on my death bed, I'll likely not say "I wish I would have spent more time working"... So, I live as much as I can, too.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, play hard, and hardly work....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, up until lately I haven't really participated in the CS thing. Recently though, I've had a few people stay on my couch. Met some pretty awesome friends and decided that I'd like to see the other side of the coin.

In the next few months, I have several short trips "planned" and I'm looking for A) people to share the experience with, and B) fascinating places to go and see.

Interests

Anything fun. Music, art, photography, business, real estate, cars, hiking, Skydiving, offroading, BMX, building things, other stuff.
I'm open minded and willing to try anything twice.
I count on other people to expose me to parts of life that i would have never known about, and i hope to do the same for others.
