CURRENT MISSION

To get out there in life

ABOUT ME

Well I'm currently in Germany for one year. I'm loving the culture and everything it has to offer that isn't in my own culture. I am supposed to be learning German, but its coming at a slower process than I ever could have imagined.

Where do I start about myself. I am a very optimistic person. If things don't work out I always think well at least I didn't die today. I like to be happy and share my joy with others. If the setting is right I can have an explosion of energy. I love to party, dance and seize the moment. But there are times when I love to sit back and just watch my surroundings. I may come off as being naive, but I'm really not. I'm just curious about the world and think in a different way than most people.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is complicated and absurd, but I try to live simple. And of course the glass is always half full. I'm learning right now that I have to seek out what I really want, instead of taking the back seat in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Willing to meet up with anyone who is outgoing and likes to have a good time. Never been a big planner so I don't see myself organizing events, but I'll see where my experiences take me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to it, but I have a friend who has had great results ; )

Interests

It may be broad, but I love the world. The people, the buildings, the mountains.
I love history. I find it interesting to know what societies have done in the past. If money were no object I would probably teach it.
I love art. I always come back to it because it brings me such joy. I hope I never forget to have it in my life. That being said. I've played the cello and done a lot of drawing. But I've spent the most time with photography. I'm even on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelphoto1/ Check it out!
