CURRENT MISSION

Not all those who wander are lost

ABOUT ME

I'm a good-natured, easy-going guy who lives life in somewhat of an organized chaos and tends to find humor in most everything. I TRY to live in the moment, without regret, in this journey called life. Anything else, just ask, I'm an open book...

PHILOSOPHY

People that don't challenge themselves beyond the boundaries of a comfortable existence are truly missing the point of life. Every day is a chance to have a new experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Hawaii, which I'd say turned out really well, aside from a dislocated shoulder and a smashed rental car (unrelated accidents). Since then, I've surfed numerous countries across multiple continents and have had countless positive experiences with amazing people.

Interests

My true passion in life is traveling (obviously) and making the world I live in that much smaller. My other serious interests are film and photography. I'm an outdoor enthusiast and adrenaline junkie who enjoys all related activities such as hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, surfing, hang gliding, skydiving, bungee jumping etc. The usual listening to music and reading books are interests as well. I'm a big pop culture geek as well (Marvel, Star Wars, etc). Oh, and food! Easily one of the best parts of traveling, and life in general, is discovering new and delicious food. Overall, I just like having a good time and meeting new people.
