About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live the dream

ABOUT ME

I like to ride my bike a lot because it cuts down on the emissions both to the environment and to my wallet. Currently I spend my money on looking for places to climb. I love to be outside more than I love to be inside, but i am also an expert at wasting a day doing nothing. If my tent was big enough, i would probably use it instead of finding somewhere to sleep. Im also a huge fan of using my taxi (my legs) when I get to a place that ive never been before. I would also say that im pretty spontaneous, not flaky, there is a difference. Im also a fan of not putting apostrophes (isnt if funny how a long word like that means just a little dash) in the middle of my words, nor capitalizing my "i"´s in the middle of a sentence.

PHILOSOPHY

pardon the pun, but its gonna get a little philosophical

live everyday as if you had no regrets, its never too late to turn your life around. Live your live for you not for someone else. If someone tells you that you cant do something, use that as motivation to actually do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to show anyone that surfs with me a bomb ass time, even though i dont really live in huge towns. When i surf with someone i try an open-minded person with opinions that maybe they havent heard before

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some awesome times with an awesome surfer in Illinois
Took a small trip to Manchester, where i met Aya. When you get to her place, no matter whether she is still in england or in Australia, dont ever be surprised by her. Then on my trip to the netherlands, met up with some terrific bohnanse players, who also showed me how to ring in the new year. Met up with a girl in Egypt who was in the chase of a boat back to Sri Lanka, really messed up what happened. Found a whole network of surfers in Mannheim Germany who really helped out with both my german skills and with getting to know the area better. Partied with a surfer in Mainz for Fastnacht.

Interests

Im really just interested in washing my hands in the local waters. Im still in the search of the counties water that will give me disintary, obviously i havent had any water from mexico. Im also interested in asking a lot of questions, so dont be surprised if you get the 3rd degree from me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies- action movies, but i really just blame the XY for that characteristic. i am a proponent of stupid humor.
Music-I do listen to the main stream radio hits, but i really like reggae, roots music and bands that a lot of people dont really know about.
Books-mostly fantasy. not really a fan of non-fiction, but i know that it does have a roll in our literary archive

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I woke up.
