About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn something from everything and everyone.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very peaceful, open-minded person. I love hearing about people's lives, where they've been, and what they've done.

PHILOSOPHY

Know Yourself
Know Your Enemy
Know Your Environment
"The more you sweat in times of peace, the less you bleed in times of war."
"Zen is action, not thought. Instinct, not intelligence. Vibration, not motion."
"Zen is the point when instinct becomes action."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host, since I usually live in areas without anything except one hotel. I like to open my home to people, cook for them, and share stories.
I also enjoy surfing, when I'm out and about traveling. It's an way to see a place through somebody else's eyes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in some US cities and in some European cities. I've found there is no better way to learn about a city than staying on somebody's couch. They can always tell you things you would never know on your own.

Interests

I love cooking, climbing, yoga, running, lifting weights, frisbee, and drinking chai. I'm interested in anything and everything, really.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Snail, The Neverending Story, The River Why, The Prophet, and anything by Joseph Conrad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the Superior Hiking Trail. It was such a beautiful hike. 200+ miles of wonderful woods and rolling hills.
I built a race car with 6 other people, and won a 3rd place trophy, best design, and best documentation in a competition of almost 300 teams from around the world.
