CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and meet it's inhabitants

ABOUT ME

Constantly developing.

Hopefully, we will get a chance to learn about each other!

I lost 60lbs from March 2013 to March 2014, so that is why I look like a fat version of myself in some pictures, and a chubby version of myself in others. In 2015, I've lost 10 more lbs and have dramatically lowered my body fat %. I feel like a new person, and I'm happy with the way I look, but am always striving to be more fit. Now, I want to help other people achieve the same feeling... So, I work as a personal trainer.

PHILOSOPHY

Remember... the universe surrenders only for the calm mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Backpacked solo through Europe for a summer. Central America the following summer. SE Asia the following spring/summer. Got to share my time, thoughts, and good energy with many wonderful people, and hoping to keep that going :)

I have traveled all over the U.S. and lived. I am currently travelling with no end and no plans, just life (thanks J).

You wont find me on facebook or twitter, but please checkout my website:

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have played host to my share of friends, and passerbys who became friends. Also have been fortunate enough to have the favor returned as much if not more.

Interests

I take interest in everything that comes into my life-sphere. There is so much good stuff in the world... People, Music, Sights, Food, Writings, Doubts, Landscapes, Laughs, Fears, Drinks, Language, Challenges, Tears, Achievement, Sweat... Just enjoy it all! It's what makes us.

Music, Movies, and Books

Give me more.

Can never get enough. Music is a particular passion of mine... I consider myself a multi-instrumentalist (bass guitar, drums, and piano). Played in a band for a while in Boston, couple of shows at some local venues with good friends. Great experiences, and so much fun!
