CURRENT MISSION

Graduate from college

ABOUT ME

I have been in school for far too long, but don't look forward to graduating. That makes me sad because I don't want to admit I am an adult and have to join the real world. I've lived in Japan for a year and look forward to going back. I may or may not live there on a permanent basis when I graduate. It sounds fun, but some of the cultural quirks make me want to reconsider. Land restrictions there also put a damper on my ideal home. I ride a motorcycle and have for about 3 years. I'm a hardcore mac user, but I don't force it on others. Windows is sometimes necessary. I run my own business an someday hope to grow to a point where I don't have to participate in the "real" work force.

PHILOSOPHY

Do it while you're young and free of responsibility. Once you are part of the work force, you are more or less there for the rest of your life. There is plenty of time to pay off that trip you took when you were a kid. It's not so easy to do that when you have a 9-5, marriage, and especially kids.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CS and am not really sure where to start. I look forward to the opportunities out there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new here, but not to the concept. It's one of the best ways to travel. I have visited many places this way and look forward to visiting many more. I also have several friends who have visited me in this manner.
