About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to thoroughly get to know Europe

ABOUT ME

I am quite a laid-back and reserved individual, I am comfortable in solitude, but at the same time, I very much enjoy being around other people in a crowd, at a party, out in public, etc. Within the past year, I completed my graduate studies, and have started the next phase of my life. I am open to pretty much anything, I'll try most anything once, and seek self-improvement on a daily basis. In all, I am just looking to expand my horizons and get what I can from this wonderful life!

PHILOSOPHY

All the world is my playground.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very interested in participating in the CS2 project to its fullest potential. I plan on making connections on future vacations and also serving as a host for fellow travelers. I currently live in the Mississippi Delta, right along the Blues Trail, which is frequented by Blues fans from all over the world. I am more than willing to host such travelers. Also, I have just recently learned about the Couch Surfing Project, and I am doing my part to spread the word to all the good folks I know.

Music, Movies, and Books

"If music be the food of love, play on." - William Shakespeare.
I am a music addict, and I love all kinds of good Music from all over the world.. It is my opinion that Music is perhaps the single most fantastic and important invention/innovation in the history of mankind.

At heart, I am most into the heavy metal rock n' roll, but I simply LOVE the Irish Folk and Delta Blues music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one? I would say that while in Barcelona, Spain, I visited Gaudi's Gardens and climbed an adjacent hillside that gave us all a panoramic 360 degree view of the city, the Olympic Towers, the Mediterranean Sea. That was quite an amazing sight. Then we went down to the sea for a quick swim. It was the middle of March and it was cold, but I was not going to go all the way over the the Mediterranean Sea and NOT dive in. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are my guest or my host for any significant amount of time (i.e. more than one day/night) I can teach you how to make some very delicious Persian Khoreshts (stews) that I have taught myself how to make after living amidst a sizable Persian community in Nashville, TN. Because if you've never had the Persian food before, you don't know what you're missing! :D
