CURRENT MISSION

Go to the end of the road.

ABOUT ME

I graduated from a college from a small Oregon university in May, 2007. I don't want to get stuck in a 9-5 job and am setting off by myself for an around the world journey (maybe a couple times around?). I have no schedule, no plans and go wherever the wind takes me.

One other note: I normally go by Ricky and its not because I'm in love with the latin popstar. I was Ricky Martin before he was!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm all about being happy myself and making those around me as happy as possible. I put happiness above all else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new people and share my experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled with a couple of CSer's, hung out in Bangkok with several and attended a CS gathering. I've yet to couchsurf myself but am looking forward to trying it.

Interests

Traveling! I played a ton of sports through both high school and college. I'm an easy going guy and like to do everything.

• traveling
• cycling
• sports
• mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all sorts of music but am shamelessly digging JT right now. Other notables include; John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Rage Against the Machine, Kayne West, The Mountain Goats, Real Big Fish, The Mighty Mighty Bostons, Sublime, etc. I like everything.

I love reading travel books- it always gets me really motivated and pumped up to keep traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My biggest recent accomplished was the "Ghangis Kahn Inner Mongolian Bike Race." An amazing 150k race across the hills and desert of inner-Mongolia

Teach, Learn, Share

1) Be happy!
