About Me

CURRENT MISSION

End world hunger? I'd like to end world fear.

ABOUT ME

We're not really people from 196 different countries. We're all from 1 world. (unless you're from America, da best..just sayin :p).

Relax, you don't have to read my profile for a secret word to put in your CS request :P

I don't mind if you just need a cheap place to crash. "CS Spirit" means hosting travelers as they come, not as you want them to be.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a game of inches and seconds. Will you let them slip away, or will you push for every inch and make every second count?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am blessed. I have a big place in the center of the best city in the world, El Paso, Texas :P

I don't mind sharing with fellow adventurers. Just pass it forward: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJeWFoKZ63U

It doesn't matter whether you're refugee or just a broke road-tripper. If I have room that day, I'll probably host you. Karma :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a ton of real-life friends and over 200 CS'ers. People sometimes say "are you crazy? Not worried about being robbed? Killed?". Those are usually boring people with no courage or sense of adventure.

I have had a lot of fun hosting, and no issues. (well, none that a mop and bucket couldn't fix :P)

Interests

sports, motorcycles, and adventure.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a dirtbike from the USA to Panama and back. When Chuck Norris checks under his bed at night, he checks for me :P

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach street law, American Jujitsu, fitness, or how to work on motorcycles. I'd like to learn about other cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my mop, broom, and cleaning supplies :p Do the next Couchsurfers a favor and please clean up when you leave :).

Don't bring me presents, material possessions don't bring me happiness, they're just more stuff to weight me down.

You can eat and drink all you want from my kitchen...you gotta cook it yourself though :P
