About Me

ABOUT ME

Woot Woot!

Lived in Europe for 8 months last year (2012), and I loved almost every minute of it.

Atlanta native working in project management.

Fairly laid back or open-minded (do these coincide?), friendly, blunt, funny, loud, extra-extrovert :)

PHILOSOPHY

The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I need to participate more...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted twice now, and they both were experiences I will never forget. I must admit it is wonderful to be able test the hospitality and generosity of the people in the world, and to find out that they are plentiful in both.

Interests

I've loved traveling to the few places that I have. My interests are to get a great education, make a decent living, and place myself in a position where I can give back to this world.

  • performing arts
  • education
  • traveling
  • hiking
  • teaching

Music, Movies, and Books

big Dean Koontz fan. I love supernatural/magic and science fiction novels. HUGE Harry Potter fan--I shed a tear...

EDM, HipHop, Jazz, World

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling to Europe. Hiking in Zurich, seeing ColdPlay perform in Zurich...and finding a way to support myself in a situation where I'm completely out of my element.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn to speak French. Learn to play the Cello--it's the most beautiful instrument.

I want to grow into a more accepting individual, one who is free-spirited, and openhearted.

Everyone should travel. Leave. Go somewhere you've never been.

Reality is what you make it. It is different for everyone.
