CURRENT MISSION

I'd like to meet as many interesting people as possible in my lifetime. In the process, I hope to become a little more interesting myself :-).

ABOUT ME

Well, if I had to describe myself in a word, it would be...hopeful! I'm a pretty cheerful guy, I'm enthusiastic about life and people and new experiences, my favourite thing to do is make people smile or laugh, and most of all, I've got so much hope for this whole world people probably would think I'm crazy if I talked about it.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life under the direction of Jesus. Sometimes I wonder why I'm doing it, but I can't get away from how incredibly content and happy I am when I follow him.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well....I just got started, so I haven't had much a chance yet :-). I mean, I'm totally willing to meet up with anyone who comes to this area, but I can't offer a couch because this isn't my house :-(.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This will be my first time couchsurfing!

Interests

I like watching movies, meeting new people, going new places, having new experiences....I'm all about doing new things. I like music, both listening and playing, and I pretend to play the guitar, drums, and piano.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time, I was at a nightclub watching this amazing band(Paper Lions), who had so much talent it wasn't funny. During one part of the concert, the drummer came to the front and did this absolutely incredible bongo solo. This may sound cliche, but I think my mouth was actually hanging open.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have lots to say about the film industry! I also have some computer talents, so if yours is broken....I can fix it up for ya ;-). I'd like to learn even more about film! Other than that, I'm interested in pretty much everything :-).
