About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Scientific surveys across the world, experience more life, more fun, more people

ABOUT ME

Tall and love to travel. I'm a fun happy person, free spirited and open minded. I love to meet new people and love sharing ideas. I have great stories and travels to tell all, including secrets of unknown places from all around the world. I am currently traveling around the world, and this summer I am working in Nijmegen Holland, at music festivals!
I enjoy life with it's good vibes, spontaneousness, awkwardness, and uniqueness. I read and write very often and my passion is learning/knowledge/new experiences. I enjoy cooking and I am great at cooking Mexican food/tacos. I am athletic and use to play many sports. I am all about yoga and walking and hikes and swimming and scuba diving. And the things I want to do during this travel is: hiking, swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, camping, organic farming and permaculture, record unique sounds, music, disco, food, and share life experience. I want to discover awesome local music and movies. The past two years I have been traveling around SouthEast Asia, New Zealand, and Australia. Before that I was touring the USA working music festivals. I have been to 36 Music Festivals (3 international), and 34 of them have been in a spand of 18 months; traveling by hitchhiking, carpoling, bus, plane, horse back, urban dog sledding, and by foot, including camping and couch surfing and WWOOFing!
Born in the South of Texas, grew up on Farm Land around Horses, Cowboys, and Indians. I am part Native American 33% so if you have never seen a Native of Texas here I am. There are not many of us left. I am awesome at Texas Hold'em Poker and could show you a thing or two. I also know many secrets.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, love, and be happy. Construct your own thoughts through personal experiences. Socratic method to socialize. Build and build. Once you have a structure, improve upon or tear it down and rebuild. Plants unlock the secrets. Feel the vibe, ride the way, vibrate with frequency, and love life and live with love. "There is no truth, only you, and what you perceive to be the truth." And if you are not laughing you could be dying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate through experience. Communication is key and I love to converse. I will host anytime any place, even if I do not have home of my own and I am with a friend or at my mother's flat. If you need a place to stay just say "Hey, Brando! I need a place to stay!" And I will say, "Okay, come on over." Free food, free education, and free transportation. This is the way my world works.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ah Fuck! My first negative comment. My explanation for this... Las Vegas is a "hell of a city!"
Besides that, the experience of couchsurfing is Better than I Hotel, Better than a Hostel (most of the time), and overall by couchsurfing I get more culture. Experiences have been: loving, humorous, educational, inspirational, magical! This site is a webbing of friendships among unknown loving and caring strangers. I am glad we are all apart of this, here and now!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saved I kid from a burning car. Saved a kid from dehydration at a music festival. Hiked across South Africa Bare foot for two weeks. Hitchhiked across South Africa and USA. Explored the abandoned building in Detroit Michigan Blown up a tank. Discovered Tuscan glass artifact 800BC years old in Vicchio Italia. I survived being drowned, I survived Hyperthermia, survived food poisoning 6 times. I have had a premonition and theoretically safed myself and three others, it was weird! Found a grasshopper the size of my palm. Took a picture of a UFO! Bees eating Pork. Listened to a Cheetah purr. Witness my friend get ran over by a truck and walk away with a tire mark across his clothes without a scratch or injury, a true miracle. I've seen evil become good. Ya, life is an experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: Yoga, basketball, chess, swimming, health and nutrition, making great tacos, guacamole, salsa, algebra, trigonometry, Calculus. I've learned patience, starvation, dehydration, dieting, sharing, and appreciating everyone for who they uniquely are. I will share everything. How to travel the USA while working across the nation (helps.net and WWOOFing), volunteering for music festivals (free enterance and experience. And I can help you move around the USA or the world be sharing my friends with you. We are all silky threads woven together intricately in this blanket of loving friendship.
