Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
See the world, appreciate each moment, and give more than I take.
ABOUT ME
I believe that every single person on earth has a completely unique life experience. While it is impossible to have every single life experience, the more people you meet the more you learn about the world and all the ways you can live a life.
PHILOSOPHY
"What I think is, it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, start anytime you want. Change or stay the same. There aren't any rules. We can make the best or worst of it. I hope you make the best. And I hope you see things that startle you. Feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you challenge yourself. I hope you live a life you're proud of. And If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again"
~Eric Roth
I've just embarked on a new adventure! I got a motorcycle! It's a beauty of a thing. A bit older than I am. It's a 1982 Honda CB750K, dark blue, and a total champion. My first big ride with it is from Denver to New Orleans!
So yeah, I'm moving to New Orleans!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Surf, host, and share culture!
When I stop moving and have a place, I host! When I am in movement, I surf. And in both cases, I LOVE meeting the big-hearted folk of couchsurfing who inevitably cannot be put into a category... except maybe open-minded ♥

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I hitchhiked 10,000km from Sydney, through the middle of the red center of Australia, all the way to Broome.... WITHOUT A SINGLE PENNY! Whoa. I only put that in all caps because looking back on it I'm kind of shocked I did it. Once I arrived in Broome I worked on a pearl farm! My co-workers were dolphins, sea turtles, sharks, humpback whales, manta rays, and phosphorescent plankton.
I lived on a pirate ship with a French guy in Tahiti for 2 weeks.
I also hitchhiked from Denver to Toronto in NOVEMBURRRR in a BLIZZZARRRDDDD. (???)
I lived at a protest camp in Australia for 3 months .
Teach, Learn, Share
I know a thing or two about filmmaking, photography, dumpster diving, and hitchhiking.
I always love learning about science and philosophy.
Let's shoot the stars and lasso the moon together!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share an open heart, lots of stories, yummy cooking, and photography/filmmaking tutorials.
