CURRENT MISSION

I'm looking for a place and a purpose, as is most everyone.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very laid back individual. I'm drawn to creativity, and love spending time with down to earth people, sharing ideas and changing the world one small step at a time.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy revolves around sharing what you have and being kind to others. Although I would not call myself a buddhist per say, I do follow the philosophies taught in the dharma.
Beyond that, I feel that everyone should live their own life how they feel it should be lived. You only get one shot, one youth and one chance to see and do everything that your mind can fathom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Give as much as I can, and enjoy the trip.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't couchsurfed via the dotcom yet, but straight out of school, I started traveling the east coast, meeting people and staying with folks I met earlier that day. I've met a lot of great (and not so great) people, and have made a ton of awesome memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of both Stanley Kubrick (Full Metal Jacket, Clockwork Orange, Spartacus) and Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Inglourious Bastards).
If I'm reading, it's usually some sort of study or educational book. I often study trades and certification guides. Sometimes books I read on fixing cabinets, or cars, or anything comes in handy. :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a good bit, both highs and lows. I've been to the tops of mountains, I've been in city slums. I've traveled with the clothes on my back, and I've stayed in amazing hotels. I've done some shady stuff to get by, and I've served the military. I've lived life, and much of it has been amazing so far.
