CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Happy, ambitious, love to travel--laugh--play guitar--build things/anything--eclectic taste in music I listen to everything depends what mood im in, I enjoy meeting new people, experiencing new cultures and foods, open-minded, free spirit. I make my own rules in this life..

PHILOSOPHY

To help everyone around me to the absolute best of my ability and not ask for anything in return. If everyone could simply love and accept each other and be willing to help without concern for how they will be repayed, humanity might actually have hope. I'm skeptically hopeful and brutally honest, I don't sugar-coat anything and have no problem telling it like it is... More people need to wake up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now I am attempting to get to know the Couchsurfing network by diving in and surfing as many couches as I can. Eventually in the future when I settle somewhere I will be able to offer my couch, when I get one.

Music, Movies, and Books

Catch 22, always Catcher in the Rye, Tuesdays with Morrie, Freakonomics, A People's History of the United States. I love music and do have my favorites, but I will listen to anything. The last movie I watched was "I am" the documentary from the director of BRUCE ALMIGHTY, THE NUTTY PROFESSOR and ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE. It was an amazing film with a great message and everyone should see it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to Babylon, Iraq and was on the first guided tour in more than 40 years since Saddam Hussein had closed off the area to outsiders. Beginning in 1985, Saddam Hussein ordered the rebuilding of the ancient city of Babylon in his name. Some of the old bricks from the ancient ruins were inscribed "I am Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the world." In Saddam Hussein's modern recreation of the ruins, he included new brick inlays that were inscribed, "Saddam Hussein, the protector of Iraq, rebuilt civilisation and rebuilt Babylon." and "This was built by Saddam Hussein, son of Nebuchadnezzar, to glorify Iraq." I slept in Saddam Hussein's palace overlooking the ancient ruins for a couple of days. I was able to see the site of Nebuchadnezzar's throne, the Ishtar Gate (Bab Ishtar), Procession Street, the Lion of Babylon, the ancient ruins of King Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC), and the ancient Coliseum reconstructed by Saddam Hussein's labor force.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach carpentry and home improvements/home repair. I can cook a mean chili and hot wings. I would like to learn as much as I can about as much as I can. I love to play guitar and would like to learn anything I can from great musicians..
