CURRENT MISSION

Learn Spanish and French

ABOUT ME

Me? Who? Me? I'm 24 years old. Easy going. I enjoy deep, existential conversations and challenging myself mentally, physically and emotionally. I have a love/hate relationship with french people, particularly french women, as well as french culture. I just got out of a relationship with a French girl and, although I currently vow to never date a frenchie again, I Will likely settle down with a french girl at some point and be very very happy and very very anxious about it for the rest of my life. I love bicycling, cooking, reading short stories, clean kitchens, showers and toillets, talking about math and science as if I'm educated on the subjects, obscure historical conversations and attempting to speak other languages (namely spanish and french of late). I'm pretty much like everyone else that has a cool profile, but I'm trying to be different, just like everyone else, which promotes a sense of false originality in myself. I'm also very much opposed to talking about myself.

PHILOSOPHY

DO NOT stick to social norms just because you feel like you have to. Do something that terrifies you every day and for Chissakes, believe in yourself a little. You're so money and you don't even know it.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosted like twenty or thirty times. I have never hosted anyone. I have mooched off the system for this long, and now I'm trying to help out fellow moochers, thereby no longer being a complete moocher myself. Assist me by assisting yourself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Europe a few summers back. Twas a pleasure. Surfed up in the pac northwest a few less summers back. Twas also a pleasure. Surfed as I biked the US. Twas fuckin crazy. Gunna surf in South America and Southeast Asia. Maybe India. China would be cool. And Scandinavia. Oh and Russia. Shit, I better get on this.

兴趣

Riding my bike, the southern part of the United States. North Korea. Communism. Dancing (if Michael Jackson comes on, I will pretty much drop everything and begin an impromptu dance party). Basketball. Women who have no interest in me, but may be interested at some point in the future, so I have to act like I'm not interested, even though I am, and then either nothing happens or something really cool happens and then we either really regret it or look back at it fondly. Really big, fluffy dogs that don't shed very much, don't smell and like to wrestle (other peoples' dogs).
