ABOUT ME

A kind hearted, spastic nerd (^_^)=b
I have a restless spirit and tend to be in one place for upwards of a year before becoming restless and take off on some adventure. Those adventures, however, are usually full of wander and rarely do I see one place for very long...
I've done this time and time again XD
I'm not that into sports but my earliest memories are of watching Boxing with my grandpa and have a deep love of boxing along with some years of training.
I also really enjoy Longboarding. It feels like a place where I can let my soul dance with the wind.

PHILOSOPHY

Raised Christian, abandoned it around the age of 13, had a crazy encounter with God at the age of 19, and have been a Christian since then, although I do struggle often. Nowhere near perfect, but I am trying to become more like Love by God's grace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've circled the United States time and time again, moving town to town and state to state, however I only have really 1 good international travel experience and long for more true culture shock! US is pretty much the same coast to coast. So far I'm completely inexperienced at traveling or hosting through this website (I have traveled and hosted in other ways) but I'm very excited to start learning and using this wonderful resource and getting to know many of the wonderful people in this community!

Interests

I love to play music, percussion mostly, I enjoy playing board/card/video games, and also watching TV shows/Movies/Anime. I write poetry, songs, short stories and the like in my spare time, and traveling is always on my heart and mind. I love jumping in the car and aimlessly taking off for however long to wherever

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen real miracles during time spent in India. The 2 most incredible were 1 man's left leg growing about a foot in length to match the length of his right leg (he was on a crutch his whole life) and the second was about an 8 month old baby who's eyelids never formed and after being prayed over the child like, sprouted eyelids and opened it's eyes for the first time! I'm not kidding! It's completely changed my mind about the whole world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty good drummer and could teach other people how to play, especially hand drums like the djembe, congas, tablas, etc. Moderate guitar skills and can teach you some beginner and intermediate stuff ^^ I can heat a house, so if you need some crawl space help or something, I can work with you on that ^_^

I'm a pretty good chess player and have been teaching elementary school students for the past 2 years how to play, so if you'd like to learn how to play chess I could certainly teach you =)

Let's share a cup of coffee!
