CURRENT MISSION

Continue this phase of my life known as "college" and learn and experience as much as I can while still fulfilling the Adventurer dreams of a slightly irrational young man.

ABOUT ME

Ambivalent. Maybe apathetic. I should have been at Woodstock. The Beatles. The Beatles. The Beatles. I'm majoring in Religious Studies at IU. Love Life and Live Love!

PHILOSOPHY

I am currently really into Taoist philosophy. Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" and "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" are two of my favorite poems ever. Some personal philosophy:

Acceptance and Death are a part of Life.

Love Life. Live Love.

Things are the way they are because that's the way things are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I'm new at this. I'm also a poor college student that doesn't even own a couch but I'd be glad to show anyone around Bloomington (or the Oolitic quarries) and maybe have some coffee or tea.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, really...

Interests

I love playing Ultimate (frisbee) and I love hiking. The "Limestone Mountains" and "Quarry Hole Lakes" of my hometown are my favorite outdoor places in the entire world. It's a lot of fun taking out-of-towners there and showing them the beauty of man and nature mingling. I love reading and writing. I especially enjoy writing with an inkwell and pen. I think it's fun to analyze the way other people express themselves.

Teach, Learn, Share
