CURRENT MISSION

to learn something new each day

ABOUT ME

I just quit my job to become a full time traveler! I'm starting with a goal of hitting all 50 states in 1 year. I'm eager to meet people, see new things, and learn something new each day!

PHILOSOPHY

Relaxed and groovy.
Laugh often and hard.
Don't get dead.
Learn stuff.
Sometimes the floor is lava.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would host if I could, but my current living conditions are not my own. I am planning to explore the United States, and then the world, and hope to find awesome people that want to show me their town/city/village and life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Through my own network of friends I've begun my trip going from couch to couch along the Eastern States, working my way south.

兴趣

I like exploring, learning, walking, hiking, reading, art, imagination, camping, theatre, cinema, dancing, cooking, baking, wine, parties, and games. I also enjoy a good discussion, 'doing nothing together' or any of the above things in combination.

• arts

• cooking
• recipes
• wine

• walking
• partying
• movies
• reading
• traveling
• socializing
• hiking

音乐、电影和书籍

Now that I have time to read again, I'm attempting to work my way through a much to large pile of books I'm carting around in my car. Current in the midst of:
The Game of Thrones Series
How We Decide by Jonah Lehrer (highly recommend)

I love movies with twists, turns, and thinking. But I can always enjoy a good action, romantic, or otherwise brain candy movie. I've recently fallen into the documentary scene and highly recommend:
The Human Experience
I Am
and Life in a Day

I'm currently listening to the compiled Road Mix CDs sent to me by friends, family, and strangers through my website.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Despite a repeated experience, I still marvel at sunsets. I've been to, in or through about 65% of the United States (no math was ever done) and am aiming for all 50 by the Fall of 2013
Jumping out of a working, viable plane was probably one of my favorite experiences ever.
