CURRENT MISSION

I want to explore and experience the world, other cultures and people. I think it's the world that we all share that connects us as humans.

ABOUT ME

I'm excited to grow as a person. I think though, in order for me to do that, i need to travel. I want to experience other cultures and people who are much different from myself. My journey will start small: visiting different places in the United States. I am also somewhat of an artist. I feel that experiencing the world will aid me in my artwork, which is pursued through a musical medium. I also like to cook, try new foods and drinks. I have a passion for food, coffee, music and life.

PHILOSOPHY

I like life. I want to experience more, so i may become a more complete individual. I don't really care what your religious views, race, gender, orientation, or upbringing is. If you are nice to me, i'll be nice to you. I live life in order to experience life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would be happy to meet people traveling through Columbus, and if i get to know someone, we'll see about staying on my sofa.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couch surfing, and haven't really traveled much previously, but i am excited to start!

Interests

I love music. It allows me to escape into a place that is truly perfect. I play the guitar, bass, clarinet,saxophone, percussion, and harmonica. I really enjoy rock styles of music, but nothing really gets to me more than groups or artists who fuse styles. I love food, cooking, coffee, and drinks. I would love to eat/drink my way across Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to coastal South Carolina once, and to be honest, my first view of the Atlantic Ocean was the single most profound sight i have ever had the pleasure of being a part of.

Teach, Learn, Share

Alright, i have a lot to say, a lot that i think/believe, and i'm not yet sure how to put it all in to text. I guess i have some skills to trade. I can play musical instruments and cook-thanks to mom. One profound thing that i have noticed in my 20 years sharing the Earth with all of you is that, if someone is different from you, either embrace it, or get over it. Think about that.
