CURRENT MISSION

Imagine being trapped in a box. There's no exit and nothing new can find it's way in. I want to avoid being in this "box". Life's too short. Do what brings you joy in the time you have. Daydream. It's the easiest freedom that no one can take from you.

ABOUT ME

I like to travel. That's my main reason for joining up with this site. I like to travel and I like to meet cool people. One of my goals is to travel to every piece of US territory and then settle in Europe(after I see at least 79.324% of it first).

PHILOSOPHY

Flexible like the flowing water
strong like the oldest of trees
intense like the hottest of fires
know all above you like the ground
and move like the wind.

And in each of these things let your mind be free.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still kinda new to this despite crashing at someone's place. I find this whole concept and the people who subscribe to it to be amazing. People who let strangers into their home's just to meet someone with a different story, are easily my heroes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One couch so far but I didn't really get to hang out with my host. Hopefully the next couch that I surf I'll be able to talk to my host more and be a better person for it. That and hopefully we can laugh and trip off some Mystery Science Theater 3000. I'm still a nerd at heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw my favourite band in a small bar here in Philly. I got to meet both members. I went to a taping of the Colbert Report in NYC. I can find my way around just about any major in America and can find my way around Tokyo pretty well. But I would trade all these experiences for one more episode of Viva Laughlin. Just kidding on that last one.
