About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make a living doing what I am passionate about - new experiences, enjoying the moment, capturing something special with an image

ABOUT ME

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh-QWKGbm2Q

Ok, thats just some of it. I pretty easy going and dont ask for much. Of course I love photography so if you are with me you may get photographed! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I think this idea of one community is one that will save mankind. Fear is what will ultimately lead to destruction and traveling ultimately breaks down fear bit by bit. No matter how different we are, we will only survive if we can share this limited space we all call home.

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel,
read only a page.” - St. Augustine

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im an eager to give/take a couch - but Im usually traveling, so Im taking more couches than giving at the moment!
