About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get outside of my comfort zone!

ABOUT ME

I am a college student that is wanting to travel with a budget. I am a quite man but funny at times. I love to meet people and pick their brains about deep topics (I think because I'm a introvert). I am an athlete, I mostly do triathlons but like anything that has to do with the outdoors. I am a very honest person who respects others and always looking to learn something new. For the most part I am a content person that is happy with whatever is offered and ultimately enjoying life!

PHILOSOPHY

“If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it is lethal.”
― Paulo Coelho
"I used to be somebody but now i am somebody else who will be tomorrow is anybody's else."

Be kind and polite to everybody. Give them second chances because you never know if that will be you in that situation one day. Don't hold grudges because life is to short to keep them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wanted to use CS to surf, I heard many great things about this website and would like to experience it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hope to fill this in when I return from my trip! =]

Interests

As I said before I like to be outside doing activities. I've been a triathlete for 6 years and have been cycling for about 8 years. I love bike riding, it's such a great feeling when you can leave your house and go anywhere you want and enjoy the outdoors. I am also into music...I go to shows on the weekends, collect vinyl and always looking for the next great tune. I enjoy creating things, whether its a bed or a chair, a leather bag, or a painting. I like to learn new things and always looking to learn a new craft. Photography is also another hobby that I do, I have done some studio photography and event photography. My interest are endless and wish to continue having more.

Music, Movies, and Books

There's tons of movies to mention but maybe I'll focus on directors.
Darren Aronofsky (older movies)
Wachowski Brothers
Yimou Zhang
Paul Anderson
Stanley Kubrick (Genius, watch Room 237)
Quentin Tarantino
David Lynch
Joel and Ethan Coen
Tim Burton
Guillermo del Toro

Stoping there, it was longer than expected.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to Italy to ride the yearly Pinarello Granfondo, it was my first time in Europe. Although I had to carry my bike everywhere I went, that ride was well worth it, riding in Treviso is amazing and doesn't compare to the states. Planing to do another one in the near future.
