About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Converse with people about life and interesting topics of life

ABOUT ME

Engineer who enjoys traveling and learning other cultures. Born in the USA but living in Germany now after having lived in France and Italy.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a gift and each person can live their life as they wish. I believe that people who recognize the humanity of other people and react accordingly to the people they deal with will achieve a higher quality of life than those who strive blindly for money or success at whatever cost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hope to learn kitesurfing in Sarzana or in Sicily in 2014 with my 2 children. Perhaps meet some interesting people along the way also.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In college I participated in the International Exchange Program and spent 1 year in France and then lived in Europe for some time. I am new to the Couchsurfing website but it appears to be a good idea for cultural exchange.

Interests

Enjoy talking to other people who are able to have an intelligent conversation. It is interesting to talk about what is needed to achieve self improvement and the best way to achieve goals in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam from Alcatraz to San Francisco beach.

I jumped into San Francisco Bay next to the Alcatraz prison and swam to the beach in San Francisco. This required swimming in the ocean which was 60 degrees fahrenheit (15 degrees centigrade) for 1 hour.

The point is, you can do whatever you set your mind to do if you have enough discipline. You can become the person you want to be if you have the discipline.
