CURRENT MISSION

Get "Educated"!

ABOUT ME

My youth was spent playing sports and working hard in school. As I thought this was the way to a successful life, in tenth grade I met Henry Thoreau in the books with transcendentalism and have been trying to find my viewpoints on many matters since. I think all of my life I've had similar thoughts of Thoreau and transcendental philosophies, but now I finally discovered a solidified figure of my nascent views. I hope as I get older I still have unmitigated audacity to be able to change my views, and not have them set in stone at any age.

PHILOSOPHY

Only rely on yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am motorcycling around the US this summer and will be wanting to meet others all over to see their slightly different lifestyle and town... Nevermind--Crashed in Georgia.

Graduate of Ohio University.

Live in Brooklyn, NY

Interests

I like: fun people who are outgoing; jam bands and festivals (Widespread Panic); the outdoors; corny jokes and one-liners; people that smile within the first 30 seconds of meeting them. Much more to be named later!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I haven't really done anything in my life worth real acclamation. I'm considered an adult and I'm yet to accomplish anything.

Teach, Learn, Share

Have you ever noticed that a large majority of the world is filled with people that respond to actions and not make them. That people watch cars in front of them at a traffic light instead of the traffic light. That many are concerned with external thoughts instead of the underlying form of the thought. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think many people don't go to the root of the problem, but just look at the symptoms.
