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.

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

兴趣

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!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

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

教，学，和分享

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.
