Active duty Air Force but I’d say I’m chill and laid back. I absolutely love learning new things. I never really know what to say half the time. Some background info: Born and raised in Houston. Random facts: I've never broken a bone. I know the capital of Iceland. I often write letters to my future self and sing in the shower,(sometimes beatbox). I once built a gaming pc for a dear friend of mine. My laptop's name is theGibson, my wifi is theForce. I enjoy nerdy jokes and really lame ones. I see the world each day as some new adventure. PHILOSOPHY Not all who wander are lost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just started. You'll have to forgive me if this seems a bit empty.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet but I am excited.

Interests

Musical Instruments.Learning new skills. Cliff diving.Wordplay. Video games.Sitting on rooftops staring at the stars/ stargazing and climbing on random things in general.Art, of any form, as I have neither the skill nor patience. Card games, board games, and making up games. Programming.Roller Coasters. I can appreciate the written word. I'm pretty bad at billiards, but I'm learning and try to play any chance I get.Photography & VideographyPlay fighting/sparring. Recently I have taken up Thai Boxing and jiu jitsu. Fairy tale fiction/fables.Mythology (of any root)[i.e., Armenian,Celtic, Christian,Chinese,Egyptian,Greek,Hindu,Islamic, Japanese,Jewish, Maya, Mesopotamian,Norse,Roman,Slavic]Quirky skills such as, pen spinning and coin rolling.I like having those debates that give you a mental challenge-- the ones that don't turn into an argument over who's right and wrong, but instead inspire you to do a full 180 on you're values and allow you to see through the eyes of another.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess this is kind of cool--I went on a road trip by myself of about 4,000 miles on a Motorcycle. From Texas to California and back. Where I camped at truck stops or where ever I could find shelter. (I didn't know about couch surfing back then.) I saw the Milky Way and a few shooting stars and met/hung out with a few of the locals. Fact: I can make even George Washington smile. Ask me to show you in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I will teach anyone anything I know.Topics include: jiu jitsu, mathematics, random useless facts, magic tricks that are really based off of science, really lame jokes.

Fun Fact: "Enlighten Me!" (you will probably hear me saying this often.)
