CURRENT MISSION

to live, love, and let loose.

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing and fun, always up for a good time. I enjoy good music- preferably local, good beer-again local is a plus, and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

"to live is the rarest thing.. most people just exist."

"Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted" John Lennon

*Don't take life too seriously, You'll never get out alive"

*the things you own, end up owning you. Only when you lose everything, are you free to do anything*
-Tyler Durden.."fight Club"

*always chill and keep it real, cuz life is short and time is precious*
-Gas Station prophecy

*dont let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy..take it easy*
-Eagles

*once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest places if you look at it right*
-Grateful Dead

*Who's to say? and who are you to judge me anyways. This is my road, i take the car as fast as i can go*
-Pat Green

It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it."

"People are just about as happy as they make up their mind to be" - Abraham Lincoln

"Not all those who wander are lost."

"Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart." - Confucius

"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A ship in harbor is safe. But that's not what ships are built for."

"Happiness is an act of courage"

The biggest heartaches in my life have all been because I wanted people to love me more than they were willing or able to. People are not perfect. They will sometimes take your love and give nothing back or, worse yet, use it against you. But they are still all there is. Loving one another is our only reason for being.
-Dolly Parton

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.

The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses

If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything.

"Love is an energy. You can feed it to people, and they in turn feed it to others, and eventually it comes back.”— Hill Harper

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."
— Chris McCandless

Every person & situation in your life is here for the development of your soul--even your adversaries & your tragedies. So thank God in ALL things and pray for those who persecute you. How else would we get to practice unconditional love & forgivness?

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used couchsurfing in my cross country road trip to L.A./Hollywood and really enjoyed the experience. I look forward to meeting new people and hearing their stories as I host surfers as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was when I went to Hollywood, CA. My host was extremely helpful showing me around the city, taking us to see and experience cool things, and hooking us up with whatever we needed while we were there. I hope to provide that same kind of hospitality to couch surfers who come here to experience Athens.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I ever did was caregive for my best friend who passed away from terminal cancer. That journey was something that absolutely changed me and taught me more about compassion and love for fellow beings than I'll probably learn ever again. It took me to Atlanta, Houston, Columbia, SC and through many trials and tribulations. It's truly shaped who I am and definitely the most awe inspiring journey I've ever been on.

Other cools things I've seen were the Petroglyphs in Alburqerque, NM. I was also blown away by Hollywood and Rodeo drive, but my favorite place I have ever been was Boulder, CO.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you do not learn something from everyone you meet, you're doin it wrong.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Comfy ass couches, a mediocre shower, and a place to crash 3 blocks from downtown
