About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save the World

ABOUT ME

I'm a disciple, rock climber, student, traveler, outdoor enthusiast. I don't shower more than 4 times a week, I wash my clothes every other to every third month, I am in love with dark chocolate. I enjoy cooking and eating, but hate cleaning up and really like to learn about other cultures, but I'm horrible at knowing what to ask.

I am married to my wonderful wife and team mate, Alexandra. By the time you read this (July 2018), we will have at least one baby boy, Jacob Mauzy. Since we have a newborn, we are not hosting anyone except for people we know. If we have interacted before, send me a message! If not, send me a message and let's meet up, but don't expect to stay with us.

Recently, I have begun hunting and trying to spend a lot of time out of doors, learning to live a more sustainable, low impact lifestyle. This means a lot of my recent traveling has been camping, hiking, etc. If anyone would be interested in any of these activities, send me a message!

PHILOSOPHY

I worship the Living God, I want live my life to bring Him glory. Everything happens by His will, so there is some type of joy in every event to be found.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My living situation doesn't lend itself to host unless I know you personally (hosted or surfed with before, or know in some other way). So now a days I do a little surfing, and I try to attend local events once or twice a month.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Each couch surfing experience has been different and interesting and fun, except one. I love the community and enjoy any time I get to spend with fellow sufers. Right now I have not been able to spend as much time with the Couchsurfing as I use to, but I am still here and looking forward to getting back involved at some point in the near future.

Music, Movies, and Books

? Too many to list? I like almost everything, I mainly just read non-fiction, focusing on travel books, Christian books, and survival/wild food types.

Lately I've started to enjoy more fiction books, all recommendations are warmly welcomed.
