Nov 2025: Heading to SE Asia for the first time whoop whoop!

CURRENT MISSION

Love without expectation

ABOUT ME

I love life. Even the difficult parts. Recently, I've been in a beautiful spot in terms of community, relationships, and general well being. I am embarking on some new chapters of my life which are challenging me in saying goodbye to what's comfortable and embracing the unknown.

I am very involved with the outdoor community, both in New Mexico, Alaska and other places. I love rock climbing, hiking, snowboarding, slack lining, biking, and camping. Other hobbies include yoga, reading, dancing, jaywalking, not buying material things, and using the internet as little as possible (except CS of course)

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life passionately and without reservation, always a student and always growing. I believe in moving forward... always forward movement in my life... with the occasional eddy to soak it in.

The way to love is to love the way

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hosting in order to show more people the hidden gem that is Albuquerque. This place has had a profound impact upon my life and I hope to share the magic of it with others.

I'm couch surfing because it's been my experience that when you go to a restaurant, the waiter normally knows the best thing on the menu... So it is too with travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Honestly anything between 80-120 bpm will get my hips moving like hell, but I appreciate all music , lot of R&B soul and organic house music recently

Book: DUNE, Sapiens, Project Hail Mary, Wild Swans, Boy Eats Universe, Across the Nightingale Floor, Be Here Now, Ishmael

I try to always travel with a book or two and am somewhat of a pollinator bee with a constant ebb and flow of books in my travels!

Movie: Kung Fu Hustle, Interstellar

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Swam in the Arctic waters of the Bering Strait outside of Kotzebue, Alaska

- Helped organize an intentional community (not a cult I promise!) in New Mexico

Teach, Learn, Share
