About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know the US East Coast!

ABOUT ME

Hellooooooooo East Coast! I spend 6 months living out there on the other side of the country, and then decided to move out for good. After my last big trip to Europe I realized I've visited twice as many countries as US states, so now this helps balance things out. ... for a while, until I've been to every state and even more countries. God, we travelers are NEVER satisfied!

I'm a thrill seeker. Also a hard working person pursuing a satisfying career. I run around with a bunch of hippie, make new friends easily.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is one big adventure and we've just got to take risks and keep on saying yes to the next stage of the journey. I'm very conscious that I've got a limited number of years on this beautiful Earth and that the actions I take every day are both important and set precedent for everything that is to come in life. We're not getting out of tough situations by luck but by reorienting our entire beings towards a new way of responding and calling in new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My first couchsurfing experience in Germany was phenomenal and I've been gung-ho about it ever since. CS events, hosting and surfing are all things I've done. Right now I don't have space to host and I don't have time to travel but I've still got CS the community here to inspire me to adventure a little further than ever before.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed with individuals who generously share their spaces, their food, drink, stories, friends and joy with me, and I've hosted incredible people in return. It's been phenomenal! This community is exceptional.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16 my high school band group performed on the Great Wall of China in Beijing. There were so many steps to climb with my trombone and it was hard to keep the music from blowing off the music stand but it was surreal and satisfying to be there.
