CURRENT MISSION

I want to live the way a dying man wishes he would have, see the heights and pits of humanity to gain an optimum appreciation for this life while I'm at it, then sit on my death bed with one hell of a story to tell.

ABOUT ME

At the moment I'm a bit of a work junkie, busting my ass to achieve the dream of getting paid to jump off buildings and make movies!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life the way you'd want to remember it.
Keeping the eventual hindsight in mind makes any good time all the sweeter and keeps the rough ones in perspective 'cause all the worst days make the best stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As often as possible! Though, unfortunately my hours haven't been conducive to hosting Couch Surfers very much lately.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This website has provided some of the greatest experiences of my life! Cheers to the ones who put this together and everybody else involved, 'cause experiencing the different cultures of people involved with this community stands shoulder-to-shoulder with seeing the pyramids of Egypt, walking the Great Wall, and admiring the Taj Mahal.Now that´s saying a lot. The idea of meeting up with damn-near complete strangers in a world going cold with paranoia originally stirred a little skepticism, but the unexceptionally warm embraces I received from fellow CouchSurfers - let alone the extent of their generosity - has felt like a wonder of the world to me.

Books
If I had to pick favourites, I'd just say anything by Jon Krakaeur. Lots of love for Kerouac, Kesey, Hemmingway and Hunter S. Thompson as well. Unfortunately, it's very rare that I'm able to sit down with a book for than 3 minutes.
