CURRENT MISSION

Live my life to the fullest. Have fun and meet new interesting people. Experience new things.

ABOUT ME

My name is Fred. I currently reside in Cincinnati, OH USA. Most of my waking hours are spent in a cubicle in front of a computer screen.....the remainder of that time is spent reading, working out, enjoying live trivia at local bars, listening to alternative music, and generally trying to have a good time with my life. I am a low-key person, most of the time people don't even know I'm there. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Anyway, I think I have a good sense of humor and an overall positive outlook on life. I like to meet new and interesting people and I've been told that I'm very tolerant of others and an excellent listener. I also like long walks in the park, ice cream cones, and Kenny G. That's a joke, or is it? I do like ice cream and walking. Maybe I like Kenny G too? I've never really given the guy a chance to be honest.

PHILOSOPHY

Thinking about this one.....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not really doing anything right now for the CS2 project unfortunately. I am willing to share my couch with other members though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. I am hoping I can possibly have my first experience this Fall.

Interests

I like to watch sports such as college and professional football, college basketball, rugby, and a few others. Trying new food is also an interest of mine. I also like art and history, movies, video games, hanging out with my friends, having a beer at the local bar and many other things.
When it's warm I like to play regular golf and disc golf. I try to work out at least three days a week to keep healthy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing is coming to mind right now. Amazing is a strong word. Must think on this one too.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not too sure what special skills I possess. I am willing to share my thoughts, ideas, and experiences with people though. I guess that might count as something. As far as learning something new, I'm always trying to learn new things and improve myself.
