ABOUT ME

Over the last few years I've realized that I want nothing more than to use my talents in service of what I believe to be the highest common dream of humanity, an emerging global culture of love and wisdom. I'm currently traveling to learn humility and expose myself to other ways of living, in an attempt to be a man of my time, someone whose daily spontaneous offering is a suitable response to the demands of our world.

PHILOSOPHY

Imagination is our greatest natural resource.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Because magic lives in the intersections between people. Because I'm a global traveler at heart with a ton of catching up to do. Because I honor people whose lives carry them across exotic lands, and sometimes those exotic lands are my own house. Because I want to meet you and inspire each other!

Intereses

Evolutionary Biology, Visionary Art & Culture, Fringe Science, Paleontology, Acoustic-Electronic Guitar, Transpersonal Psychology, Festivals, Bouldering, Comparative Mythology, Vagabonding, Adventure!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Oh man. I'm an endless font of information, knowledge, and ideas. Hit me up with any questions you might have; it doesn't matter what. I bet I can provide a fresh perspective. :)

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I've got a unique angle and I inspire people for a living. It's an honor and a pleasure to teach, learn, and share anything even remotely related to the topics I've written about, and the work I do:
