CURRENT MISSION go places, meet people, do things ABOUT ME Hmmm... Defining myself in a few words - always a pleasure. Let's see: I'm a curious, eccentric guy, with many eclectic tastes. I'm a city boy that loves the outdoors, a math student that wants to be a novelist, and above all a conversantionalist. Most people would say I'm "intense". I just say I like making the most out of every situation :) Guess you'll have to judge for yourselfs. I'm easy going, I'm always calm, and I do my best to stay happy :-) and make those around me happy as well... I'm also an aspiring author and conssumate reader, and i'm always looking for new people and experiences to enhance my writing with. PHILOSOPHY Only the tame birds have a longing; The wild ones fly To know, and not to act, is not to know Apathy is the glove into which evil puts its hand

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I went on a two day camping trip on the Aran Islands with thirteen other couchsurfers I have barely met before, taught them how to make a fire out of wet wood in the middle of a windstorm, and learned from them the true meaning of couchsurfing and the free spiritedness behind it :)

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I dunked into Grretislaug, a small hot pot in the middle of no-where in the north of Iceland in the midst of a rain storm and bathed in nature's finest while enjoying snow-capped mountain view.
