CURRENT MISSION

To drink as deeply as I can from the river of understanding.

ABOUT ME

"His life was gentle; and all the elements so mixed in him that all of nature should stand up and say: 'This was a man'"

I love to think about stuff, anything really. History, philosophy, politics, life, and love. Not that I am an expert on any of these, but I do think they are important and worth discovering/exploring. I guess I also like to hear myself talk and sound profound =). I am on a journey to grow and become me.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is always growing, always changing. A few things I will definitively say is that people are like rivers: constantly moving and changing. Also, I like to believe that Faith, Love and Hope are the three things that will never die. They might get beat up real bad, but they never die.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I look forward to sharing ideas and experiences with fellow adventurers, and opening my home and mind to others that the world might grow closer, one couch at a time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only couch-surfed at various friends houses while traveling the esat coast of the US for various reasons, however it wasn't done through this site. Nothing too exciting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked across the Sierra Nevada Mountains with my brother and uncle. Ran out of food and had to resort to hot-dog flavored raman.

Teach, Learn, Share

For as much as I like to talk about stuff I'm not sure what all I can teach. Let's see here I can teach you to change a flat tire, teach you how to make an omlete, and I can teach you how to be a philosopher. I can share a drink, a couch, a smoke, a conversaiton, a soul. I'd like to learn another language, a foriegn dance, and how to cook an intersting, authentic meal.
