CURRENT MISSION

live life to the absolute fullest

ABOUT ME

i am a pretty serious outdoors person. i love hiking, exploring, camping, hunting, fishing, and horseback riding. traveling is obviously another addiction of mine. i love road trips. new people, new places, new experiences. i attended college for a couple of years and then took my first trip out of the country in the fall of 2008 to china. it was absolutely amazing. we hit beijing, xian, and the smaller city of heze. too many awesome experiences that we had on that trip to list. but it was hands down the coolest time of my life. now i am hooked. unfortunately since then work has been scarce and i have bounced around from working as a truck driver in southern wyoming to being a 2010 census worker. i have an online business, selling books i have written and also starting a trucking company with my brother. i am doing everything i can to become financially independent so that i can travel full time, and become a professional couch surfer!

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have only surfed. I plan to host as soon as I have my own place and live in a less remote, more desirable area!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed down in Albuquerque during an Earthship build. Super awesome experience! Haven't had that much fun since!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: i watch a lot of movies. westerns, action, drama, romantic comedies, way too many to name, but a few that come to mind right now: long way around, the hangover, air america, forest gump, the art of travel, lord of the rings, any john wayne film, i could keep going but i probably shouldn't.

music: anything and everything. currently listening to the high kings (irish band)

books: self-help, informational, inspirational, novels, gazettes/ altas's, etc. we'll stick with authors for sake of time. Gary Paulsen, Philip Pullman, David Gemmel, Louis L'Amour, Robert Kiyosaki, Napoleon Hill, Stephen Covey, Donald Trump, and Warren Buffet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

watched a sunrise in the steen mountains in south east oregon. one of the most breath taking sights of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
