CURRENT MISSION

Travel is currently mission. I save for three years and just quit my job a month ago to embark on this adventure. My life's mission however is reducing human impact on our enviornment. I feel love of nature & traveling go hand in hand though!

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain

Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white. – Mark Jenkins

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. ~Elwyn Brooks White, Essays of E.B. White, 1977

This is the only day we HAVE. Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits they become character; Watch your character; it becomes your destiny..

"So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers... then you will see the strength of yourself alone.."

Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody is watching -souza/keller williams

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful. ~Buddha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to Couch Surfing.org, however considering my college experience I was running my own coach surfing business for 4 years. I had an open door policy in college which to my happiness was taken advantage of greatly in the happening little college town over the years. I have missed it these two years out of school and was very excited when my friend told me about couch surfing.org prior to this trip. I am very hopeful to have some great experiences while surfing over the next six months or so and then excited to host when I figure out where my next home will be.
