CURRENT MISSION

Focus on school for the next 8 months and then let my real life begin.

ABOUT ME

I'm 26. Born in Bermuda and want to go back there ASAP. Spent ages 6-8 in Alexandria, Louisiana, but the majority of my life has been in Gulfport, MS. I want to get out of Mississippi and see the world. When I see the world I really mean it. I'd love to walk from Mississippi down to Tierra del Fuego and sail to Africa and drive along the east coast of Africa to Tanzania. Climb Kilimanjaro and you get my point. I want to see everything there is to see and then see it again. I'm an advertising student, but I started out doing history. I love history, but don't want to limit myself to teaching. Design is something I really enjoy, but history will always be my first love.

PHILOSOPHY

Live to live. Don't live for money. Don't live for love. Live your life and only your life. You only get one time around make it count.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I found out about this project a few years ago and haven't really been able to participate much at all. I have been so busy with school or just didn't have the room to offer someone when they needed it. I am going to commit myself to helping out in anyway that I can from now on. I'll be in Hattiesburg, MS from January 2010 - August 2010 in an apartment with three other guys. I do not know how they'll feel about letting people stay, but I'll have my own room and my floor will be available.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll have to fill this out later.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is directed at people just out of high school. Don't go to college until you know what you want to do. I made a huge mistake of going because it was the thing to do and then I didn't want to leave without something I felt like I could use as a career. So, I took a long time to get through school and if I could give you one piece of advice it would be too find out who you are before wasting your time and money.
