ABOUT ME

Like many others out there I have a laundry list of character defects- I admit- however,
-I love to live my life as humble and honest as possible-making a prevalent goal to treat others better than I treat myself without any backward falling politeness
Strap a pack to my back-give me a destination- and I'll amble my way there- being attentive to every detail of a new place

Enjoy whatever life throws at me, good beer, travel, food, books, party, conversations, trails, mountains, forests, cities, cooking, biking, poetry, art, summer, winter, friends, meeting new folks, love to put on my socks after they some out of the dryer! getting out of my comfort zone to do things I normally won't! and overall live to have a good time

PHILOSOPHY

"growing old is a fact of life. Now, Growing up-that's a personal choice"
-by somebody I overheard

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When my situation allows- I enjoy to host many traveling folks in my flat and just simply share stories, experiences, life knowledge, and food

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

from the shores of okinawa,japan to la paz,mexico I've met so many humble friends, who I can confidently call friends, and learned a whole lot from them just as much as any school can possibly teach if not more

Interests

I am-by trade-a wildland firefighter, so am always enraptured by nature and amazed on a lot of the primitiveness of this world.
... Keep myself happy by running, reading, playing my harmonica in some random places, laughing, friends, family, up for new things even if it seems stoopid :P
...love studying languages, when time allows, and traveling out in the world with little plans so I can get lost and see some randomness!.
Road trips that lead to no particular location and I love my job! xD
