About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Take in The World and Do My Best To Capture it in Moving And Still Photos to Share with Others

ABOUT ME

Everywhere I go I think about how to capture what I see and what I feel w/ photos. I'm fortunate to have had opportunities to travel and I love sharing stories and letting others know what's in our world if they'd like to know.
I have a kindof quirky sense of humor, that ranges from very dry to very goofy as there little that I enjoy more than a good friendly laugh.

Though I don't really think I'm specialized in anything, I consider myself an outdoorsman, a waterman, a surfer, a tech enthusiast, and I'm always getting into new hobbies.

I love walking around new cities.

PHILOSOPHY

There are too many good things in life and when I stay grateful for all of them I find myself generally happier.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined so I will hopefully be staying with other on a 3 week trip to NZ and Aus. I put a lot of thought into my trips and try to figure out how to get around in country and figure out to help other travellers who might come after me so I hope to share my experiences and successes with futures travellers, and host them on my couch as well.
