CURRENT MISSION

Travel the entire world, experience every culture I can, expand my perspective and build a lifelong network, all the while finding opportunities along the way to give back.

ABOUT ME

I'm a simple guy. I think we humans have a tendency to do too much, and/or complicate things. I like to do one thing at a time so I get the best out of the experience, and I usually like to do all things with other people (if I'm not feeling an urging need for solitude, why wouldn't I want to have others experience life with me?)

I'm drawn to pretty much anything artistic, or design related. I have music on as often as I can and I definitely have a soft spot for festivals, or anything of similar vibes.

I love experiencing others and their angle on life... seeing something you've seen a million times before, but from a different perspective, is such a great/renewing feeling.

PHILOSOPHY

I heard in a speech once:

"You all think that getting the things that you want and need is so difficult to bring about. You think that if you must loose 100 pounds, you must suffer the entire way. If this is what you believe, then indeed it will be your experience."

Kind of chilled my bones when I first heard that... it made me realize how powerful our minds can be when we are living in the realm of possibilities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've tried to Couchsurf 3 or 4 times in the past and I suppose it wasn't the right timing or else I didn't give enough notice :p We will see if I can finally get the chance to experience the community !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed before through other arangements and had a great experience, met some very likeminded and welcoming people, however I have never done so through CS. I have met and interacted with several people on this sight and I get a good vibe so I'd say I'm here to stay for now.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any and all kinds of EDM - liquid drum n bass, some dubstep, jungle, chillstep, downtempo, lounge, chill out, tribal, and all kinds of house. Also most kinds of rock, reggae, alternative, pretty much anything that is chill and has substance to it.

Books - very random for me, but I do like a lot of like ancient history type stuff (Egypt, ancient societies, Inca Empire, etc.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched a meteor shower while swimming in the Potomac River!

Stared a mile down into the Grand Canyon.

Also driven from coast to coast across the US - 3,200 miles, 4 1/2 days... it was pretty epic and I would recommend that everyone do a crosscountry roadtrip before you die!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to wire-wrap gemstones/jewelry, and to be honest it's quite addicting. I am also good at explaining meditation for the person who "cannot get my mind to shut up for longer than five minutes" << believe me anyone can learn to find that quiet place :)
