About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep the adventure going where ever it leads me and try to leave a positive wake behind me.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently living the vanlife in Juneau, Alaska (so I can't really host at the moment) I love photography, film, having deep conversations, making music and faking foreign accents. I crave new experiences and can't stand routine. But like most on CS I also love meeting people a trying learn a little of their story and sharing a little of my own.

PHILOSOPHY
Memento Mori... Memento Vivere. Be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host. I surf. I share. I listen. I see where the breeze takes me;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted people and surfed. I find that they all have carried this positive energy, maybe from the excitement of traveling, that is easily contagious and refreshing in the blur of daily life. I've also had my fair share of praying to the couch gods for last-minute couches. But overall I'd I've had some of the most rewarding experiences and friendships born through this site.

My music tastes are everywhere. Anything from Slightly Stoopid and Pepper to Modest Mouse and Morning Benders to Iron & Wine and Jose Gonzalez. And oh yea, Young the Giant, Caribou, Dispatch, John Mayer, Broken Bells and everything on Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Basically, a lot of different stuff...Movies.... Hmm... Jurassic Park and Into the Wild both changed my life in some way.
Books:
The Beach, 6 Billion Others, Travels with Charley, The Four Agreements, Ishmael, Siddhartha, Meditations

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the privilege to document some private and intimate stories of people. When someone trusts me with a camera and microphone like that it's the most humbling and rewarding experience I can have. It also puts my own life in a new perspective.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's see where the conversation takes us ya?
