Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Becoming a travel photographer, while reattending school in Madison...
ABOUT ME
Just living by trial and error, and loving every minute of it.
PHILOSOPHY
"Not all who wander are aimless. Especially not those who seek truth beyond tradition, beyond definition, beyond the image."
Every system has its flaws, every idea has its doubters and every passion is met by someone who just doesn't understand, so maybe I should find the thing I believe in and go from there.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I haven't yet because I lived on a farm in the middle of no where, but now that I'm in a wonderful city like Madison, I hope people will want to crash on my couch!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I have ever done is hopping on a flight to Barcelona after two and a half weeks in Italy. There were no hostels available in Venice and I had visited all the cities atop my list for Italy, so 8 hours before the flight I booked a ticket to Barcelona. And the city, as many of you know, was just incredible. I walked the entire city and appreciated all of its great art. That spontaneous trip will ever be a proud moment of mine.
As for amazing things I've seen. I see amazing things each and every day. I feel blessed.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can offer a wonderful biking or running partner and maybe even teach you a thing or two.
I volunteer at a couple non-profits, so I can share kind words with you about how to make this world a better place. And you can visit them with me, seeing what the community of Madison really is about.
I'd love to learn to cook ethnically. I keep trying and I'm just not good at it. I can teach you the most basic of American meals- pasta, omlettes, sandwiches, grilled cheese-but otherwise I only seek knowledge.
