Currently practicing Saxophone and Rope Dart. Future goals of learning wilderness survival and hip hop dance

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I stumbled upon couchsurfing when I was welcomed into a house after sleeping in my car for a bit. It was one of the greatest experiences and I made some lifelong connections. I hope to be able to create some equally grand memories and meet some more amazing people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think some of the most profound experiences I've had are from an extensive meditation or guided breathwork.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." -Samuel Langhorne Clemens

"The question of the meaning of life, as the Buddha taught, is not edifying. One must immerse oneself in the river of life and let the question drift away" -Irvin D. Yalom

What I Can Share with Hosts
