Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To transcend the bullshit
ABOUT ME
I seek the experience, meet interesting people, make new friends. I love playing music and improvise with fellow musicians. Lately i've been a homebody in Spokane and am finding a peace in planting roots and hosting.Though the travel itch is consistently engraved deep in my spirit.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in magic and the divine river that we all flow in. I strive to be a more compassionate human being amidst the chaos and to keep the spark alive within the darkness. I'd say I resonate most with a Taoist philosophy and try to cultivate equanimity within my being with a spice of zest when the occasion calls for it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've been hosting a lot in Spokane, WA. I love this website and the philosophy behind it. Most of the people I have met here have been exceptional.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
When I went to Afghanistan in my reckless youth, my Afghani friend AJ, whom I met at a local book store, told me about this website. Afterwards I started using couch surfing in Turkey and then throughout Eastern Europe. I also had the pleasure of being able to host people during my stay in Italy. Now, i host people in Spokane. I have met so many great people and have cultivated deep friendships. This site truly provides and I have experienced a different depth to these countries because of CS. Thanks CS!!
