In August I decided to quit my office job and travel SE Asia with the money I had saved up, so here I am. I consider myself a very easy going person, some close friends have even commented that they have never seen me stressed. I see stress as a choice, I choose to avoid it, and focus on what I can control, which is my attitude.

I feel that I can get along with anyone, and I love meeting new people and learning about their culture and their passions while sharing my own as well

I have studied a lot of philosophy and love to discuss it with people to gain new insights, I also like discussing religions, though I am agnostic myself.

I am very adventurous and am always willing to try new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard great stories from other travelers about couchsurfing so I decided to try it. Seems like an awesome way to meet locals, make new friends, and experience different cultures

Interests

In Colorado, my favorite things to do are snowboarding, hiking, camping, and going to concerts. I try to work out fairly often as well. I will miss the snow while on this trip, but I am planning on filling the void of snowboarding with lots of surfing and scuba diving.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music, but my favorite is what is called jam band. It's really feel good music and involves lots of improvisation jamming. I read a lot of philosophy books and am currently reading about Chinese philosophy
