CURRENT MISSION

Stumbling through life...

ABOUT ME

I love to travel! Ever since my first flight to basic training I have been traveling all over the nation. I would say my next trips will be overseas though. I am military, University of Iowa Alum, Speak a little Spanish from studying in Costa Rica and just got back from a trip to Belize. I just moved back to Iowa from San Luis Obispo, California to save some money and help with my family's business, JR Roofing, LLC. I lived in CA for the last 6 years so I am re-adjusting from a fast paced hippie environment to the slower pace small town life.

PHILOSOPHY

Living with a "To Each, Their Own" philosophy being careful not to judge what I don't understand. I always keep an open mind. I believe in doing my part in the environment and living each day to the fullest.

Sometimes a long journey in life will bring you back to where you started...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy travel and have a general interest in meeting different types of people. Couchsurfing is a little bit of both so it seems to fit me well. I like the idea of making the world a more "free" place, not so dependent on the money system. I hope to help as much as I can. Cheers!

Teach, Learn, Share

"What ever you put in your mind and stomach nobody can ever take away!"

"Life is too short to live any two days the same!" - a friend of John Sharp's

"Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven't had that, what have you had?"-Henry James

When it comes to learning, I want to learn to be able to be more self sufficient.
