Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To have the broadest, richest range of life experiences of anyone I know, and make a TON of friends!
ABOUT ME
Friend, Brother, Son, Philosopher, Traveler, Engineer, Cycling fanatic and Dreamer!
I had my first 'real' travel experience about 4 years ago when I backpacked through Europe following university. Amazed by the experience, I've been itching to continue my travels ever since! ... I've done a few smaller trips in the past few years as my work allows, but I'm hoping to get back into some serious traveling in the near future!
I'm a super easy going guy with an extremely broad range of interests and an even more broad view of the world. I love meeting new people, learning new things, seeing different points of view, and trying almost anything and everything!
My main daily passion is cycling... I love to ride, race, and immerse myself in cycling culture! I'm generally very athletic, although I don't play a lot of 'traditional' sports!... I just love getting out and living an active lifestyle!
I also love food... both cooking at home and trying interesting things at wonderful restaurants!... Food is one of the best things about traveling! :D
PHILOSOPHY
I have many personal philosophies... But in general:
- I believe in treating others the way you'd like to be treated
- I believe in the power of optimism
- I believe that people of all different types can coexist and learn from each other with the right attitude
- I believe in respect for EVERYBODY.... (until they lose it!)
- I believe that if you generally do good things for others, good things will probably come around to you in time!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm new to Couch Surfing, but hoping I can become more involved as I see how it works!... Currently my living situation isn't very comfortable for guests, but I'd be more than happy to show a traveler around if my schedule permits!
I'm hoping that when I travel I might be able to use this service to meet some new friends and learn more about their lives in different places. I'd love to share experiences, stories, conversations and some fun times!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have yet to experience CouchSurfing, but I hope to soon!
