So, inspired by mostly curiosity, I asked 2 friends I've only been getting to know over the past 2 months...
"How have I come across to you personally in as few words as possible?"

I got "Friendly, Personable and a VERY Cheerful dude" from both, separately, then smiled, blushed (just kidding, you couldn't see me blush if you tried.) And thanked them profusely.

In all truth though. I'm just a chill dude who likes people. Done a fair bit of travelling and racking up of experiences. That's the long and short of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling, Learning, Meeting, Connecting and Crashing on a Couch, of course.

Interests

I've loved drawing and storytelling since I was a kid, and refuse to ever stop watching cartoons (and now, have "research" as an excuse)- and have competed as an amateur boxer for 3 years, still training.

I read because I want to learn. Nothing more there really, I just want to know things- so I read. Simple.

• boxing, running and moving my body make me happy
• consuming books like a ravenous beast
• animation connoisseur, i have a peter pan complex

Music, Movies, and Books

Dance Gavin Dance, J-Cole, Lil Dicky, Oddisee, Childish Gambino, The Internet, Five Finger Death Punch, Sianvar, Luther Vandross, Ray Charles, Daft Punk, C2C, Daddy Yankee, list goes on. I like to go broad, gimme what you've got.

Books... Too many to list. I look forward to talking extensively about them, though.

Teach, Learn, Share

A few excerpts/thoughts from what I've been consuming recently:

"The mind is a magical place"

"Come to terms with the fact that your first idea will be terrible... And so will the second and third. But the tenth, that'll be gold, dude."

"What do you want the world to look like once you've contributed what you feel compelled to give?"
