I haven't been on CS in 3 years because of school and travel - glad to be back!

CURRENT MISSION

Make more friends, provide a pit-stop for people who can't make it all the way to Seattle or Portland, and go on some great hikes!

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing. I love to joke and making people laugh is one of my favorite things to do. Travel is one of my biggest dreams and I love adventure.
I'm eager to help and serve others and spend a significant amount of time doing just that. I don't drink, don't smoke, and just love having fun.

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody I meet has my respect and it takes a lot of effort to lose it. Generally I trust others too much but every now and then you get lucky and find a super-special friend. When the fates of two people cross amazing things tend happen. They happen for a reason and there are many lessons to be learned.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One of my biggest goals is to change the perception many people have of Americans. I know we are generally seen as smug, proud, foolish, or even outright stupid. And many of us are - but not all. Every time I have traveled to another country I have held this goal. I have never come home without at least one person telling me how I had changed their view of America for the better.
I also love to host people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a number of times and am excited for the day when I get to surf on another person's couch. I have made some very special friends though CS and have enjoyed the things I have learned from each of them.

兴趣

I really enjoy playing football (soccer) - I have played it ever since I was a little kid. I also love to play the drums. Languages seem to be a talent - even very difficult languages are not too hard for me and I seem to pick them up quickly (I know that sounds arrogant).
I don't like: Rap, Basketball, American Football and especially hate cats and I am the worst at dancing.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I survived a collision with a semi-truck while driving a motorcycle. Not only did I survive it, I WALKED away from it. That was rad.
