CURRENT MISSION

I'm going to see as much of the world as I can while I can. It's too small these days not to.

PHILOSOPHY

The purpose of life is to live and prosper in harmony with the environment in which we were spawned. It makes sense that we should all come to respect and get along with each other, regardless of whether or not we are subject to a higher imperative by a deity or what-have-you. I refuse to believe we were created just so we could all destroy each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I certainly don't mind letting someone crash at my place in Charleston (when I'm actually home). I'm a firm believer in karma, so I'm sure helping someone out while he or she is in Charleston will come back to me when I'm abroad.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done my fair share of drifting over the past four years, but not through this web site. Great concept though. I wish I'd known about it earlier.
