CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life... what else can I say?

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Ohio (the midwest), and aside from the family summer vacations, haven't traveled too much. I decided to go to college in New Orleans, because I wanted to experience something different from my hometown. After school, I returned to Ohio and worked in a boring office job for about 2 years. I decided it was time for a change of scenery so I moved to Japan to teach English with the JET Program. I love it here, but sometimes it's tough being far away from my family with whom I am very close.

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty is the greatest of all virtues. Everything evil and wrong in the world is born from lies and deception.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As a college student in New Orleans we often let strangers crash at our place.. especially during Mardi Gras. I've had a few people stay at my place over the past year and a half and have never had any problems. I also stayed at Pablo's place in Pusan, South Korea, and had a great time!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love just about all music, especially punk rock. My favorite book is probably Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I really like movies and have been renting a lot of Japanese stuff lately. I have a very odd selection of DVD's from Pee Wee Herman to Breakfast at Tiffany's with quite a few post-apocolyptic themed films thrown in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, most people back home would think it's pretty amazing that I moved to Japan! But, to anyone on this site, I'm sure that it's no big deal. I've had a ton of adventures at home, in the big easy, and here in Hokkaido. I'd love to share them with you over a nice cold beer.
