CURRENT MISSION

To learn what it means to be alive.

ABOUT ME

I'm just a student of life and a traveling beginner. I've grown up in a small town and I'm braving the horizon in hopes of acquiring some perspective of the world. I want to learn how to be more sociable and adventurous, and I want to learn how to live with just a backpack.

PHILOSOPHY

I see that everywhere I look, life is flourishing, and that some deep intelligence at our core wants us to be alive. Living here on earth doesn't have to be a struggle for survival, but effortless. A dance. I want to live this. I want to let go of the bank and be carried by the river. I want to transcend thought and live in perfect acceptance of everyone and everything I come across. I want my life to be about embracing insecurity and uncertainty. And about building the connection I have with everyone on earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have a couch to offer, I'm just hoping to meet some people who are as interested in other cultures as I am.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm currently visiting with some friends in Berkeley California. That's about all the experience I have so far.

Interests

Reading, vagabonding, Southeast Asia, Asia, South America, and meditation.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't stick to genres of music. I seem to just enjoy different songs that stand out to me. I am a big movie nerd and the spectrum of my favorites is pretty wide as well. I like books by Richard Bach, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle, and most others concerning metaphysics, philosophy, and spiritual concepts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've taken a step into the unknown.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned much about spiritual concepts hidden in the Bible. I sometimes ramble on about symbols to friends (I'm learning to control this). And I like to hear about the esoteric concepts in the Bhagavad Gita. I've never read it. But other than that, I'd like to hear about anything that interests people.
