About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share as much love and knowledge possible

ABOUT ME

Im the easiest going guy you will most likely encounter. Life seems to get more intriguing on a daily basis. Every day I seem to meet more and more interesting people and enjoy hearing their stories and backgrounds. I believe that we are the creators of our individual universes. You are your thoughts. So if you filter out the weeds in your mind's garden you have the opportunity to have such a wonderful outlook on life.

PHILOSOPHY

The quickest way to change the world is to lead by example

Teach, Learn, Share

Less than a year ago I returned from Colombia with a friend filming a documentary about the country and its people. The purpose is to show the world that there is a different reality out there that most of us live, but few of us see, and that this reality is a good reality and not based on fear.

The couchsurfing program and experience is also documented in the film.

The documentary is called The Map Makers: Project Colombia.
