CURRENT MISSION

Figure out what the hell it is I'm doing here.

ABOUT ME

I have lived in Texas all of my life, but grew up hearing stories of all over the world, because my mom lived in several countries, and visited more while she was growing up. I would dream of walking in the jungles of Africa, and swinging on vines in Venzula like she did, riding camels in Egypt, and having alligators for pets.
While my life so far has not been as varried of adventures as hers, I have had many adventures as one could due to awesome people.
I have found growing up in a small town that no matter where you are, you can have a good time, and that its really who you are with that matters most. However, that does not satisfy my curiousity of cultures that are different than mine, and people who speak languages foreign to me. I love language, food, music, art, philosophy and theology, which interestingly enough is what makes up many people's culture.

I have one bachelors in theology, and I'm working on my BFA in Painting and Drawing. I might pursue graduate school but lately I have had a growing interest in organic farming, so who knows. I also recently got a job welding MMA cages and boxing rings.

PHILOSOPHY

To be a sponge of life. And live a life of love.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been on CS for a year now and hosted several people and surfed once in Carlsbad with my friend Mary. I want to surf more, though I really enjoy hosting. I have met some of the most fascinating and inspiring people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have found CouchSurfing to be something that I really enjoy, though I have mostly hosted, I think its a great way to meet new and interesting people.
