CURRENT MISSION

Get the most enjoyment out of life

ABOUT ME

The walls of my house are covered with pictures from where I've been and the silly things I did there :-) I like being surrounded by those memories. Expect to hear endless stories about "when I was in [various cities and countries]." But don't worry, they are mostly entertaining. Hopefully you will share some of your stories with me as well.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what to do in life. However, until I figure that out I'll keep having fun and hopefully do a decent amount of traveling to new places.

I am incredibly easy-going. I think that life is too short to get worked up and worried about the little stuff. If you agree, we will get along just great!

Anything else about me, you'd have to find out through an elite network of international spies.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't worry about things you can't change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spent much of the summer of 2007 in Europe traveling around and staying with friendly couchsurfers! I haven't gotten to host anyone yet, it seems like everytime I move someone contacts me just a few days after wanting to surf my old place! Hopefully that will change now that I'm settled down a bit.

Interests

Homebrewing, guitar, listening to new music, my precious hellion cat Zoë, geocaching, exploring a city on foot, cooking, eating and many other things!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: all kinds, especially electronic anything. Power metal, trance/progressive house, industrial are all favorites. I also love music in foreign languages, even the ones I don't understand a word of. Sonata Arctica, Elvenking, Dream Theater, System of a Down, ThouShaltNot are some of my current favorite bands.

I love just about any books, but especially Terry Pratchett and Michelle West.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving...it's not something I'd do often (maybe not again?), but what an unbelievable adrenaline rush. Hiking/climbing on a glacier in New Zealand.
