CURRENT MISSION

To get my butt out of the States!

ABOUT ME

I Love to meet new people, have a huge interest in architecture and design, and have friends from all around the world. I have a deep interest in language and I'm very respectful to other peoples beliefs and cultures. I'm organized and clean, and tend to make friends for life. I'm really laid back and super approachable, love to have conversations, and am a simple person. I am polite and well mannered and always do my best to be a gentleman. I enjoy good natured people and sitting down and enjoying a cup of coffee or a drink with a stranger or someone from a completely different part of the world! ***And most importantly*** I love meeting people who love to laugh! A good sense of humor is the only thing that sets us apart from every other neanderthal aimlessly wondering this earth.

PHILOSOPHY

Every man must pass through fire to find himself, it is the art of refinement, and is what sets his soul in it's proper place in the heavens.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host and be hosted. I'm in it for the genuine experience of meeting people and building friendships around the world, not just be a hotel or take advantage of someone else's hospitality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The reason I joined the couch surfing community is because I've always had people from around the world staying with me and my family. My parents where immigrants to the United States and always opened our home to new people and new friends. I've also lived all over the U.S. staying from couch to couch and know how amazing it is to meet people you would have never imagined and experience things you'll never forget just by putting yourself out there. I couldn't think of a better way to broaden your horizons than letting someone from another country spend a night or two in your home and in return being a guest in someone else's.

Interests

I have just begun traveling the world. I study architecture, design, and natural landscapes. I'm an artist (pencil and oil paint). I love meeting new people and discovering new cultures. I love history and language. Food is a passion and trying new things is a hobby.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked Mt. Olympus and looked down on the world, and I've lived in Europe for a year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have had a hay day of a life, near death experiences, romance, sadness, love, success, failure, and pretty much everything else in between. I still have a mountain to learn and an ocean to share. The only thing I can really teach is how to take life as it comes and keep on moving forward. And if it gets too hard to keep moving forward, maybe how to get drunk enough to forget about it...Just kidding!
