About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Imprompt walkabout

ABOUT ME

All my life I have dreamed of setting out on an adventure where I would push my limits and learn about myself and the world around me. One cloudy day in my home, Portland, Oregon, a thought occured to me. All my life I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity when there would be nothing holding me back, but what I realized is such a time will never exist. There will always be something: one last project to finish, a little bit more money to make, having to stay to be with your family. As long as you let it there will always be something keeping you from your dreams, but when you actually set out to pursue them at all costs there is no doubt in my mind that you can make them a reality.
This thought I had on that cloudy day inspired me to stop holding myself back and to pursue my dreams. It set me off on a path of travel and self discovery, a path that brought me a happiness I've long since forgotten about.
So who am I? I'm no different than any of you, just another soul trying to find his place in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosphy is to work towards becoming the best person I can be so I can give back more than I've received in my life time. I believe in leaving the world in a better state then I found it, if everyone were to follow this simple rule the world would be an amazing place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed once before in Santa Barbara and had a great experience. Seeing someone being so willing to share their home and life with me was touching and I hope to do the same when I return home.

Interests

I've recently gotten involved with music and have picked up guitar and bass. While I'm not very good yet, I've learned that that's not important and it's all about feeling the music and connecting with the people you're playing with.
I also enjoy anything outdoors related and adventerous. I'm an avid snowboarder and I love camping, hiking, exploring and scuba diving.
