CURRENT MISSION

To cram this huge world into one short life!

ABOUT ME

Well, I was a little slow to start this traveling abroad thing, so I've got some catching up to do. I love experiencing cultures other than my own and getting to know the people that define those cultures. I appreciate the little things of travel. Experiencing everyday life. Eating. Drinking. Hanging out.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep an open mind. Things are rarely black and white. Perspective influences everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used CS to find a great host in Spain! I probably don't have an ideal location for staying in, but if someone were ever in Dallas and looking to meet a native, I'd be more than happy to oblige!

Interests

Aside from traveling? Photography as a hobby. Some of my photos are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nloyless/

I enjoy most things related to the arts and history, as I do a little freelance graphic design work and illustration on the side. I also love sports and just generally going out and having fun.
