CURRENT MISSION

To explore this world and myself, learning as much as possible, meeting great people along the way, and experiencing what life has to offer.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent college graduate trying to figure out his place in this world. I will be living in Paris for 7 months beginning in September and I will be working as an English Teaching Assistant. I look forward to having many adventures while abroad and meeting great people. I am very laid back and easy to get along with. I'm open to new experiences and I am hoping that my time in Paris will provide me with many.

Update: My Paris adventure is finished and I am currently pursuing a Masters in International and World History at CU. Will be heading to London for the second year of my program. Can't wait!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is a work in progress. But I am seeking to discover as much as I can about the self and about the world we inhabit. I believe much can be learned if actively sought.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had one couchsurfing experience and it was great. I had a great host that went out of his way to make me feel at home. He was also very helpful in getting me adjusted to my new environment (I was moving to Paris to work as a TA for seven months).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing moment in my life has to be my swim in Waikiki. The weather was great and the water was so warm. The whole moment felt like perfection.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think much can be taught and learned from sharing and opening up. I cannot pinpoint an exact thing I may teach, but hopefully I can add something to each new person I meet.
