CURRENT MISSION

Flourish during my first year away from home.

ABOUT ME

I'm young, and don't really take responsibility for my actions. I also try not to judge people by the way they go about their lives. I can be serious, but I can also be goofy. I like being out in the busy streets, but I also like confiding in small company. I'm more introverted than I am extroverted. Only thing for certain with me, is that you'll probably be taken for a trip if we are to meet.

PHILOSOPHY

Well, here's a quote. "To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you be everyone else is to fight the hardest battle and never stop fighting" -- e. e. cummings

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Nothing quite gets to me like good conversation. I mean, sure, there is something special about hiking to the top of mount Everest, but when I can come to a common understanding with the person in front of me, it is like nothing else in the world matters.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but we gotta start somewhere, right??

Interests

I like staying in bed. I also like to daydream. But once I get on with my day, I enjoy other things, like shopping, eating, drinking, photography, and showing people how tasty the fruits of labor can be.

• photography
• dancing
• cooking
• drinking
• shopping
• hiking

Music, Movies, and Books

Give me something to dance to. Or sing to. Or bob my head to in unison with a large crowd or a buddy as we come to some sort of mutual climax.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I approach a bull in a bull-fight (Portuguese-style). I start circling it at which point I cut a sharp-turn and trip. Luckily I wasn't the only one, as the bull fell to the ground, and I have enough time to escape with my life, both laughing and bleeding.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, for-starters, I can recite the alphabet backwards. No, I joke, but I've been told there is a natural humor to me. I don't really believe it, but there has to be a reason to all the people laughing at me as I walk down the street. Ok, there I go again with the joking. But in all seriousness, I'm a genuine fellow, who loves to cook, and likes to dance. Yes, call it obnoxious, but keeping an open mind has taught me something special, and I want the world to experience that something.
