CURRENT MISSION

Seeing the world with my eyes, and yours.

ABOUT ME

I'd say I'm pretty laid back, down to earth and what-not, but everyone says that. I have tons to say about virtually everything ... I'm cynical, sardonic, sarcastic. Sometimes (ok, most times) it can be taken the wrong way, but it's usually just out of humor. Moments aren't usually awkward for me, but once you get to know me well, most would say I'm quirky.

I love traveling to SEE THE WORLD!!! Specifically to learn, socialize, and party. I'm a big beer drinker and I like nothing more than to have a great conversation over a scintillating brew! I hope not to cause anyone trouble, but mischief is always fun.

PHILOSOPHY

Summed up in a few quotes:

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

"So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I sleep on your couch, you sleep on mine.

Learning other people's views about life and experiences is a big concern for me because I love to hear what everyone has to say - even if I might not agree with it. I think my main goal is to meet amazing people who want to show me new things.

Interests

Just show me a good time, introduce me to some new music, some awesome people, regular pubs, something I've never done before, and I will be happy. Aside from that, I'm a movie fanatic of all genres, and really enjoy writing.
