About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take advantage of what life has to offer, while I can still enjoy it.

ABOUT ME

Some questions/topics that I am more than happy to discuss:
Right this second, what is your favorite song?
If you could see any band ever in concert, who would you go see?
Favorite book read, and why?
When you go to the toilet, do you fold or bunch the toilet paper?
If you could have any super-human ability what would it be?
Okay, other than being immortal(or healing fast) or flying, what super-human ability would you want?
What is a top 10 embarrassing moment for you?
Awesome knock-knock jokes.
Any good joke.
Any deep or philosophical question, as long as you are not expecting a serious discussion.
Any topic you talked about when you were 10-12, as long as it ends up in an argument over why Wolverine is the best X-Man.
The most insane thing you saw that day (can be as simple as someone wearing a red hat.)
Interesting history facts.

I am normally a carefree guy. I love talking with people about things that are fun to talk about. Lets have a chat!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not a philosopher, I'll let the experts share that:

"Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. You, O worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose." - Siddhartha

A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint.... What I began by reading, I must finish by acting. ~Henry David Thoreau

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.
And...always look on the bright side of life...
~ Eric Idle

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now looking for people to surf with, travel with, or even hang out with. If this sounds like you, let me know.

Also trying to convince people that Milwaukee is a great place to visit!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a number of surfing experiences. But really the highlight of my travels has been either meeting people at CS events or doing road trips with people!

Its a bit frustrating, you get to meet so many great people, and then you want to travel to them, you just don't have enough time and money!

Interests

Rock climbing, volleyball, meeting new people, camping, hiking, slacklining, soaking in culture, people watching, soccer (football), anything active.

Living life is the biggest interest, I want to try it all out at least once. Really an open book to suggestion.
