About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to survive finantially while living with an itch to travel.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very mellow, laid back guy who enjoys to laugh and converse with friends. I would consider myself open minded. I love the outdoors and just feeling free (not a caged animal confined to the city). It us my utmost aspiration to move out of Fresno. The summers in Fresno just feel like you were locked inside an oven for a few months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy helping people coming to the area see whats important such as Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks and the family and local culture. I would love to be someones tour guide. As soon as I have enough money for a plane ticket I want to do some surfing in some awesome random countries.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My 1st CS experience was Ans, a very nice lady from Germany who was on her way to travel the world. I hope sometime soon I will have that opportunity! I think that CS is a great organization and I hope it stays around for a very long time.

Interests

Skiing, swimming, hiking, backpacking, mountain driving, traveling, anything new and exciting. I would love to go skydiving! I also enjoy helping my friend who's a pyrotechnician set off the shows. 8-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love comedies, action, drama; Just nothing that's going to damage my brain. Not too big on the horror movies. I love Big Fish, Shawshank Redemption, American Pie 1,2,3, and most Adam Sandler and Jim Cary movies, Clerks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen a $4 Billion satellite get launched into space, I have seen many of the national parks in the Western United States.

A couple summers ago I went to Slovakia and while over there we went up to the UFO, the UFO Bridge that is. http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/3959290.jpg I had an espresso, so before we left I had to use the restroom, it was there that I relieved myself while looking down on a four lane bridge 250 feet below me.
That was the best bathroom I have ever encountered.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach to drive in the mountains, to drive manual transmission cars, skiing, audio video installation. I can teach where all the cool stuff is inside the parks ;-)

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, Mexico, Slovakia

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
