Update: August 2020, living in Palermo for the month. But originally a Californian

I'll do my best to try and not make this sound to cliche. I travel because I can, I travel because I love to, I travel so I can get to know the world I call home just a little bit better. I am someone who wants nothing but the best for the world and everyone in it. I am addicted to adventure. I love getting to meet people from different backgrounds other than my own, and coming to realize the more I get to know them the more alike we really are (this happens every time I meet someone new and partly why I love traveling). I like to think I am a nice person, but I guess I am a bit biased.I am always open to learn and experience new things. I do enjoy a good beer, and a good whiskey... when the budget permits. Big fan of spontaneity. If that's not good enough ask me more.

If for some reason you are interested my blog is here: roamthegiant.wordpress.com

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Of course a free place to lay my head is nice, but that is far from the reason I am here on couchsurfing. This is a community of like-minded and maybe not so like-minded people (which to be honest is great because the more perspectives the better). I am here to meet new people, swap stories and experiences, share wisdom that I have gained along the way and certainly hope to receive some. I am here to see places through locals eyes, make friends, and become just a little more familiar with the places I travel to. I am here to learn and to teach. It is important to me to connect with others and share life with others, and I think couch surfing is the perfect place to do so. It says itself on the site this is about exchange, and simply put that is what I am here for and hopefully what I can be a part of.

兴趣

Curiosity is my driver and continues to open doors to what seem like a limitless stream of interests.

音乐、电影和书籍

Just about any type of music......except country. Love scientific books as well as travel (of course)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Was charged at by a bear, thanks to stupidity in my earlier years.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

It is my hopes that after meeting and getting to know each other that at the end I have given some new perspective or insight to something the host hasn't seen or known before. Maybe some bad jokes and good laughs too.
