PHILOSOPHY

Try to appreciate everything...especially the people you meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't participate fully as of yet, but once I graduate and get a place of my own, I will go full force into this thing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. I won't be able to get any experiences until about 6-months to a year from now (November 2008), but I wanted to go ahead and sign up to gain further insight into this awesome project.

Interests

A little bit of philosophy there, a little art here, a lot of music listening and playing and a whole bunch of movie watching and film analysis. The origin of foods and animals, exploring spirituality, wondering how lighting affects mood, enhancing my GIS skills, finding similarities between related people, listening to people tell crazy stories, trying to tell my own crazy stories, being an amateur psychologist, learning to cook, learning to appreciate food, discovering magic, having great conversations with people, learning new things from new people...

Soon I will be very interested in becoming a traveler embarking on my first couchsurfing adventures.
