~ "Happiness is only real when shared." - Into the Wild

Welcome to my page!

I'm a very social and easy-going guy who enjoys good conversation and bettering myself as an individual every single day. My friends would describe me as a man of integrity and character and I try to treat everyone how I'd like to be treated.

MY ULTIMATE LIFE GOAL: to grow beyond myself by living fully in the present moment and accepting every circumstance, whether positive or negative, as a chance to better myself, live a richer and more fulfilling life, and appreciate every person for exactly who they are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recognize that I can learn something from every person I meet and that that person can learn something from me. Why not get to know some wonderful locals when visiting a new place!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll listen to pretty much any music, especially if it has a good message and a striking melody. I like movies that make me think or that grab me by the heart and make me re-evaluate my life. I'm definitely a non-fiction reader...love to learn!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I toured the Peruvian Amazon in 2015 - a wild adventure with just a touch of danger made for an incredible experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I started a Meetup group in the Orlando area when I was there for a few months for people who've experienced rejection, frustration, or disillusion in traditional church and religion. I've met so many people who have a heart-breaking story from their church experience, and it just shouldn't be that way! The amount of interest in this group was higher than I even expected as the number of members in the group grew quickly. Our weekly meetings were always very lively as I had people attend the group from many backgrounds such as atheism, free-thought, Christianity, alternative sexuality, Hinduism, agnosticism, and more. My ultimate goal was to provide a safe space for people to share their story, receive unconditional love and support, and heal from pain they've experienced in church and religion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am definitely willing to help out around the house or the yard for my host. You're opening your home to me - I want to repay the kindness however I can.

For being a social, fun-loving guy with a totally dorky sense of humor, I'm a very deep thinker and can always add an interesting perspective to a conversation on anything from politics to spirituality to self-improvement. I guarantee you will find me interesting!

I aspire to be a life wellness coach down the road. If you or someone in your home would like to bounce ideas off of someone who has a compassionate heart to see each person reach their full potential in their physical, mental, and spiritual life, I'd love to offer my thoughts!

I can also share my expansive knowledge of nutrition and fitness. Personal health has always been a passion of mine.
