CURRENT MISSION

I am traveling around Europe starting in mid April to mid May for my first solo vacation ever.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 23 year old male, that was raised right out side of Chicago in the North West suburbs. I have just recently finished college, and have been looking into joining the U.S. Marines for a short stint. Since all government agencies seem to be absolutely terrible at administrative work, I am in a form of purgatory between getting into the armed forces, and getting a grownup job. So during this time, I figure I might as well travel while I have the chance.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to do what I want. I am an American, which many people across the world hate. But being and American has made me who I am. I don't care what other people do, I was raised that anyone can do anything they want with whoever they want, and that's how I'm going to live my life too. I'm a very open person and and believe that the meaning to life is anything you want it to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have never used this site before. I like the concept, and think that the idea is great. I currently am out of school, so I am living with my parents for the moment, which makes it very difficult for me to host. But I hope that once I get my own place I can help out other surfers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
