CURRENT MISSION Have fun and be happy! ABOUT ME I love having fun, which means lots of adventures. When I have access to the equipment and/or supplies, I do all kinds of art ranging from painting and pottery to welding and woodworking. I prefer being around nature to the big city, but it's always nice to spend a night on the town with some friends or new acquaintances. I really like outdoor sports from rock climbing and kayaking to horseback riding and biking. Lately, I've been making a point to read as much as possible since it seems to be the first thing that goes when I get busy. PHILOSOPHY Enjoy life! Having fun and being happy are a state of mind which can be achieved even while doing the most mundane activities.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Because I'm traveling right now, it is difficult to participate in the CS project.. If we happen to be in the same city while traveling, I'd love to meet for a drink. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I'm new to CouchSurfing, but I'm currently traveling so I hope to have some great experiences soon!
