CURRENT MISSION

Life enrichment through travel

ABOUT ME

I try to be well-rounded. I love books although I'm kind of a slow reader, which sucks. I enjoy cinematic adventures. I have a particular kind of music I listen to for every mood that I'm in. Rock is my favorite. I'll probably go deaf by the time I hit 30. I think I write fairly well. I'm pretty good in the sack. I play a bit of piano. I generally maintain good hygiene (couches as well as showers are greatly appreciated). I celebrate diversity. I cherish honesty (brutal honesty if necessary). People for the most part find me agreeable. I believe the body fuels the mind so I like working out. I sniff glue. I ski pretty well. I drink pretty well. I have never voted for Bush even though I'm originally from Texas. He eats babies you know. I love my girlfriend deeply so I'm off the meatmarket. Intellectual conversation is a cognitive necessity. La comida mexicana es muy bueno. Ummmmmmm, I'm done.

FREE WILL!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am planning a trip to Europe with my girlfriend in May. We will be there from May until November. Our itenarary will be fairly laid back, but we hope to travel to as many destinations as practically possible. We are going to backpack around for a couple months, and when we exhaust our funds we hope to get jobs and a place in Prague. I will be in Fort Collins, CO until May so if anyone would like to visit this loveley college town they have a place to stay. I have my own apartment downtown with one of the more comfortable couches you will ever rest your head on. I do work and am finishing up my last semester at the local university, so I am busy. But I always have time to show you around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was skiing at Arapahoe Basin and flew off a cliff at about 50 miles per hour into a very large tree. I was knocked out for a while, but got up and walked away. I should not be alive. Maybe someone was watching out for me. Maybe it was just dumb luck. Who knows but I am very thankful to be alive.
