CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet other people from other cultures. I want to meet and make new friends which, I believe, help me enrich my life by sharing stories and life events. I’m an artist and like to make many types of art. I’m currently learning oil painting.

ABOUT ME

When I describe my life experiences to others they often say, “you can’t make that stuff up”. I’ve been through a lot and yet my life has been rewarding and I feel fulfilled. I try to live life to its fullest because I have seen how fragile life truly is and how quickly if can get snuffed-out. I love the beauty that is earth. The Sunsets, rivers, mountains.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once! However, if you do it right, once is enough!
Live life like it's the last day you'll have. Leave nothing unfinished.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I provide a roof over your head. Share a meal and provide friendship.
If I've got time, road trip.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just got back from Europe and thought this would be the best way to see the world, as well as getting to meet new and exciting people. My first host as a CouchSurfing member was a good experience.
Hosting others, while living in the Phipippines, has changed my life forever.
I've meet and traveled with many of these people.
I love CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped deliver a baby. As a Firefighter I’ve seen and done some interesting and amazing things, you’ll have to stop by and find-out what some of them are.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn some foreign languages. Italian, Spanish and French to start. If you're an oil painter I would love your insight. I could share drawing styles and techniques.
I have become a PADI scuba dive instructor after living in the Philippines for 3 years.
