CURRENT MISSION To live, to experience, to travel, to show others a different way, to learn a different way from others, to be happy. ABOUT ME Hmmm, happy, a not-so-common sense. I tend to be sporatic and brush off practicalities of a situation: this can lead to disaster, but also great adventures never seen otherwise! PHILOSOPHY Live life how you feel it should be lived, take responsibility of your own self, and respect that not everyone thinks the same.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Fluent in English
Learning Spanish

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Oh, what fun! I've experienced such generosity from people I met while traveling through Europe. My best is going from being cold and lost in Austria to warm and happy in the house of another whose language I did not even share. Since I've known about this site I've had a few nice couches (and lovely floors) to sleep on.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music. Playing, listening to people play. Electronic. Jam. Movies that make you think. Currently reading books on consciousness, psychedelics, the universe, reality ... it blows my mind.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
When you look up at the sky, feeling your body pressed into the cool earth, and you see the clouds lit by the moon flying across the stars, and sometimes it's quiet, and sometimes you're floating away on a rift, and it's just ... great.
Teach, Learn, Share
Stay open. Think optimistically ... even the bleakest situations may turn into magical ones that would not have been encountered had all gone "well" and as planned.
My Interests
Music! How could I live without? The great outdoors, traveling (but of course), alternative or extreme sports (i.e., anything that doesn't involve a ball and large team)
