CURRENT MISSION

Meet people about developing and implementing more sustainable ways to live

ABOUT ME

I'm a 27 year old that just moved to San Francisco. I am very passionate about sustainable development. I'm so interested in harnessing the power of nature, living off the earth, as it was intended. I have done some grass roots permaculture and sustainable housing projects. Now, I am looking to explore the corporate side that uses technology to enhance the efficiency of houses and different buildings.

I don't like to plan much, just like seeing "what happens." I love adventure and stepping into the unknown.

A beer or two to go with some great conversation. Throw in good food, good people...do you need anything more in life

PHILOSOPHY

I think, therefore I am not HERE. Be here more...happiness is in the present. Don't think as much. Just be.

Be better than yesterday. There is always room for personal growth. Be proactive about it.

No one else decides your life. You decide everything. You are responsible.

If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse.

A ship in the harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Perth meetups, awesome farm adventures in Guatemala, and hopefully get involved in the SF community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never seizes to amaze me how natural the conversations seem to flow. When people are open and give freely, the state of comfort and lack of stress is just unreal. I have not been disappointed once.
