About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get back to basics and enjoy the natural world.

PHILOSOPHY

I figure that you have to live your life in a meaningful way, we only have one shot at it. If you want to do something, just do it. You cant hit the ball if you dont swing the bat!
"Life is like a riding a bicycle, in order to keep your balance you must keep on moving." -Einstein
Regret is something that no one should feel in their lives, just accept it and move on.
Always invest sometime in yourself, but make sure to help someone else along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I myself have stayed with numerous people throughout my short travels, Always happy to have people stay with me and show them a little slice of whereever it is that I currently live...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with friends & family in San Francisco, New York, throughout Mexico and have met up with a few people in South America as well. I enjoy being part of the Orange County Couchsurfing group and have made a lot of great friends in the process. Now I live in Perth Australia with my wife and have hosted a few very nice people.

Interests

I obvioiusly love traveling to new places, meeting new people and seeing different cultures. I love trying to figure out how things work, a scientist at heart I guess. I enjoy working on Cars, Running, Tennis, Camping, Football, Baseball, and Swimming (When I get the time to these things!!) I love Art of all kinds, Rivera, Dali, Magritte, Chagall and of course a great bottle of wine.
