CURRENT MISSION

To live life and not just exist

ABOUT ME

I want to go to new places and take in all that it has to offer. I want to jump over obstacles to remember that my legs know no limits.I usually paint myself into corners just for that sake of painting. I paint, draw, sculpt, snap photos. Not to label myself being dedicated to one medium by calling myself a photographer or painter, I enjoy producing and creating art. I'd call myself an artist but at the time I have not been producing much art. I need to be inspired, see the world and come back influenced and motivated by distant shores...and I believe this is my starting point.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has something to share, something to teach. We all have had different experiences and seen things from different views. I find myself learning from everyone i come in contact with. From the young just learning to speak to the elderly that left us behind. You don't always have to hear a story to learn from it. Sometimes you just need to sit back and watch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm all kinda new to this...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've let many people sleep on my couch and I've passed out on many that were not my own. I never thought I'd keep record of how many until I made this couchsurfing account.

Interests

There is always something that i can find to interest me. The moment you stop finding things interesting is the moment you stop living.
