CURRENT MISSION

To improve the world by who I am and helping others be themselves.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty easy going guy. I'm smart, fun and caring. I love people and always try and find a way to help them out if I can. I love making new friends and learning about others. Making the best out of every situation has become my way and I think there is a lesson in everything good and everything bad. For being 24 and barely having traveled out of my home state I have had quite a wide range of experiences and learned more than I think many learn in much more time through it all. My love of books and knowledge has had be volunteering at our local library on and off and I love it!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has a reason to be here and most of the time we never fully realize our purpose because we are distracted by what we "should" be doing. Loving people and helping them to become the best them they can be is what I think I'm here for...and also enjoy the amazingly beautiful things around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far my participation has been filling this out, but once I have moved and settled in somewhere I would love to host anyone who wanted a place. As of right now I'd just be a guest. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have slept on basically all of my friends couches and they on mine and that is where my experiences ends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- A bit of everything honestly. Eric Church, The Beatles, Bruno Mars, Relient K, Coheed and Cambria, Wardruna, Roy Jones Jr, oldies, newbies...they all rule.

Movies- Used to be a HUGE movie buff now I read too much. But I don't shun them all. :) Anchorman, Braveheart, Gladiator and Kung Pow all hold a place in my heart. Machine Gun Preacher was amazing as well.

Books- This is an endless list, but highlights are motivational books (Tony Robbins, Stephen Covey, Dale Carnegie, Jim Rohn etc), Celtic fiction like Stephen Lawhead (think Celts, Robin Hood and Vikings lol), Educational Books (Psychology/Organization/Skills) and a vast assortment of novels.

I'm also a massive "Vikings" fan and rarely miss "The Walking Dead" or "Check it Out!"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting on top of the sand dunes over looking Lake Michigan during sunset or when the moon lights up the lake is incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a ton of random knowledge that I could babble about for hours if you're into conversation.
I know quite a bit about fishing especially for smaller fish or anything you can catch around Michigan.
I am a big goal setter and would love to help you set and get on course to accomplish some things in your life.
I am a pretty good weightlifter and have a decent amount of knowledge in that arena from powerlifting to crossfit lifting I've done it.
I can cook decently enough and it usually doesn't kill people.
I'm good at talking and listening on a deeper level than what the weather has been like and I can always give you some pointers on that.

I'd love to learn everything, but sadly I doubt I'll live long enough to do so. I'd gladly soak up any ideas you've been throwing around in your head and want to talk about or just about any skill you would like to show me. Certain ones I would be extremely interesting in though would be:
1. How to Fly
2. How to finish writing my book
3. How to become Youtube/Tumblr famous
4. Time Travel
