CURRENT MISSION

Just trying to make it through school and live life to the fullest :D

ABOUT ME

I'm a kid who grew up in what you could call an unconventional setting. I grew up as a couch surfer with my mother, and seeing this website brought back memories. We surfed until I was about 11 years old. She bought out and ran her own bar with money she set back, and we lived in the apartment that was in the back room of the building. She passed when I was 13 from four brain aneurysms at once. From there I lived with my father, but only til I was 16. I left home because tension between my step mother and I was pretty high and I am not one for confrontations. I met my now ex-fiance when I was 18, and we got engaged in January 2010. I ended losing my home and my cat who I miss very much. At this point, I'm trying to save enough money to get my own place somewhere and hopefully continue school soon. Until then, I'm going to continue my adventures in couch surfing and odd jobs to save up money.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life through music, it can be relative to any situation in the world.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whenever I get my own place set up, I would be more than happy to be a host to those in search of a couch :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed with my mother as a kid until I was about 11. I've slept on couches in 19 of the 50 states in the US.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I haven't been able to find a couch every single day so far, so once I slept in my car in the parking lot of a K-Mart. When I woke up, I saw a man sitting in his truck, and it was running. He looked over at me and got out of his vehicle. I rolled up my window and locked my doors and sort of braced myself. He held his hands up and he had Dunkin Donuts coffee and a bag in his hand and he said , "No no, don't be scared. I saw you sleeping in your car, and I figured you'd be hungry..." He sat the food and coffee on my hood and told me to have a nice day and good luck with wherever you're going. It was one of the most genuine and generous gestures from a stranger I've ever received :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play guitar and bass guitar, and the flute as well. I'm not a master of all of them, and could always learn more, and teach what I know :) I know my way around a computer as well. I do PC Repair freelance, and I have helped setup networks for school systems in the midwest. I'm always willing to share tips on how to make your PC run faster, free and sometimes better alternatives to programs like Microsoft Office, alternative operating systems and more :)
