About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn, understand, and experience life in many forms.

ABOUT ME

To further explain some things...my home town, I was born in Anaheim, California but I grew up in Richmond, Virginia from age 6 to 14 then Lawrenceville, Georgia from age 14 to present(24). My official education background is poor, but I have set up a self-teaching plan to keep my mind up to speed. There are many things I'm interested in for many reasons, but the few that stand out to me the most are Ninjutsu, Chemistry, and Anthropology. I aim to expand my knowledge and experience in those three subjects, among others. I love food! Seriously, I love food! I want to experience the most delicious and interesting tastes the world has to offer. I love cooking too, but my skills are average at best. I'm still working on it.

PHILOSOPHY

I would like to save this section for a face to face meeting. I love to discuss these types of things with people and hear their personal perspectives on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I suppose I haven't participated just yet. I just started on here, but I do plan to help the CS community by sharing stories, knowledge, wisdom, or any other forms of information I could pass on to the many members I come into contact with throughout my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but soon to come so stay tuned!

Interests

FOOD, skateboarding, reading, writing, ninjutsu, chemistry, physics, mathematics, anthropology, people, different perspectives, deep personal discussions, theology, spirituality, real life comical occurrences, women, meeting new people and getting that exciting feeling of trying to understand them, and many many more interests.

Music: punk/hardcore, hip-hop, funk, mo-town, smooth jazz, classic rock, 80's pop, all kinds of music really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I used to go to all the different little towns and cities surrounding where I currently live and climb the buildings onto the roof tops where I would camp out and sleep. I did it every summer for a few years. Sometimes with friends, sometimes alone.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm... this too is difficult to express by simply typing words into a little box on some internet web page. It would be much more practical to save these types of things for face to face encounters. If you ever get a chance to meet me in person, do NOT be afraid to ask me any question on your mind. I promise I will be honest and straight forward with every discussion.
