CURRENT MISSION

I feel as though it is extremely important that we all step outside of the box we live in, and gain a new perspective on the world around us. I hope to accomplish just that in my travels. Plus I've always been curious what the rest of the world is like.

ABOUT ME

I'm 26 years old, and live all over the Bay Area (San Francisco), as well as Northern California, and the Puget Sound area of Washington. I am really into sports, specifically snowboarding, surfing, and soccer. I enjoy good beer, good conversation, and having my view of the world challenged. Having worked very hard for the last several years, I've been able to free up some time to do some of the things I've been wanting to. First on the list: take a trip to Europe! If you enjoy people who are unassuming, genuine, always smiling, easy to get along with, fun, a little demented at times, adventurous, open minded, and just plain good people, look no further.

PHILOSOPHY

I have my own set of beliefs about the world and its origins. My philosophy is to live in a way that well represents what I believe in. And most important, I believe it is imparative that I respect what others believe in, regardless of what it is. All I ask in return is that same unconditional respect. Aside from that, I just try to enjoy this earth we live on, and all the people in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I donate when i can, and plan to open my couch to whoever may need it when i finish the trip I'm about to take.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've traveled around the United States alot, and met so many wonderful, friendly people. My best encounter, however, happened in Edinburgh. My friends and I got lost, and an awesome guy named Will let us sleep in his living room that night, made us breakfast the next day, and helped us get back to the rest of our group. Thanks Will! We owe you.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am currently reading Milton's "Paradise Lost" and "Jitterbug Perfume" by Tom Robbins. The last concert I went to was a band called Primus, and one called Gogoliath (I think?), a scandanavian folkish band. The last three movies I watched were "A Beautiful Mind", "Kinky Boots", and "Brotherhood of the Wolf." I enjoyed them all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once did a sixty foot (more or less) cliff dive, and lived to tell the tale.
