About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the wow, the realizations whether it follow up rain or shine.

ABOUT ME

I don't know if life is too short to stand still or too long to be irresponsible. I feel so alive and cliche when I'm on the road! I have found ultimate bliss in small doses, but also in the kindness of strangers. I look forward to meeting those that I may on couchorg and hope that someday in the near future I will be capable of returning such hospitality.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience. How can I hate unless I've seen, talk about places unless I've been, hurt unless I've loved, love unless I've hurt. But more importantly, how can I take myself seriously? Anything I have to say I generally tend to downplay with the assumption that anything I would find to be a realization many people would find a simple discovery, but that is not as much the case as I had once thought.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live in a studio, so I don't have a lot of space to offer. I would however love to offer you a place on my floor, or little tour around WA. I can take you to some great restaurants in the area, or out for some coffee, to see the forests, or experience Seattle...well beaches tend to be more my bag, but whatever floats your boat in a Cold ocean I'm happy to hoist your sails!

Interests

Snowboarding, Reading, Drawing, Writing, Zombies, Surfing, Swimming, Fencing, Driving, Traveling, People Watching, People Surfing. ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Glacier National Monument Park in Montana...I may not tell you of the lake that has taken a piece of my soul...that is unless you wish to venture forth back there with me, and bring a boat!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning Yiddish, soon will be taking Hebrew, I've experienced numerous things that all are added to my mental database of what things are like, how to approach most situations, and the realization that determination and patience are 80% of success. Or at least of what little success I've accomplished in my 23 years.
