About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to see what there is to see and meet who there is to meet. I want to be an active member in change. Let's learn from one another and share what we know/ got.

ABOUT ME

"realize what is important and put that realization into action by living for the things that actually matter, which aren't material things. Meaning is about experiences, relationships and having mental and emotional space to be aware of life going on around you. So many "successful" people forget to stop and notice their lives, and in the process they miss the whole thing. Since what "normal" people consider success is really failure, then for us to achieve success on a human level may mean that we re considered failures on a social and economic level. All the stuff you re suppose to do - achieve status, secure material comfort - you risk giving up if you take persuing a meaningful life seriously. If you really go for it and put your heart into alternatives to this dying system, it means giving up the types of comfort it has to offer in favor of pleasures that are off the grid."

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you wish to see in the world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently traveling around the USA, but when I do have a couch it'll be open to whoever needs it. I generally like to set up camp outside but this is also a great option to have. Life is all about learning and growing from one another. The more we break down our barriers the better off we'll all be.
