About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hm. I suppose to finish up with college and travel the world.

ABOUT ME

Okay so I guess I should describe myself! I'm 21 yearsold, a vegetarian, and extremely openminded. I don't really have a definite home, I go from place to place with my girlfriend, so we can save as much money as possible for traveling and whatever else we want to do.

I love the outside, and prefer to be in it as much as possible. I haven't had much of a chance to travel much, but hopefully that will all change relatively soon.

I'm a huge fan of music, especially street performers, which is where I fit in.

Right now I'm hoping to become a translator of some sort after I finish college, and see where that will take me. I'm living the whole gypsy sort of life right now, and am very pleased with it.

PHILOSOPHY

The first thing that came to mind is a quote that I pretty much live my life by. 'Life is about the journey, not the destination'. I'm sure many people who use this website feel the exact same way, so it makes it easier to connect with people! I love my life, I love where I am and what I'm doing. There are other things I'd rather be doing, of course, but I have time to do everything, because I'm going to make the time to do it! Life is short, so you have to fit everything in there before you die! Life is what you make it, so make it worth it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I'm mostly participating by spreading the word about couchsurfing to anyone I know who is going on an adventure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've gone from couch to couch around Ann Arbor for a few months, and made some good friends doing that. I've used this website to find couches to sleep on in other cities, which has worked out pretty well!

Interests

Ah hah, I jumped too far ahead and put my interests in my 'About You' section! Well, I play the guitar, enjoy reading, urban climbing and exploring, riding my bicycle, taking risks, people watching, meeting new people, chalk art, swimming in lakes and rivers, and sleeping outside.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh man! I pretty much love all movies as long as they don't bore the hell out of me.

As for music, I love pretty much anything as long as it pleasing to my ears, I'm very open minded when it comes to anything, so I love hearing new things or trying new things.

As for books, the most recent I read was 'Everything is Illuminated', which was really good. I enjoy books that can make me think, or laugh, or connect with me on a personal level.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far the most amazing thing I've seen was sitting on a boulder which was sticking out of the ocean where I lived in Key Largo, Florida, literally watching Hurricane Katrina coming in in the distance. One of the most bizarre, beautiful things I've ever seen, and I have pictures to prove it.

I'm working to change that, though, there are so many places I want to go and so many things I want to do!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have as much to offer as you're willing to take! I also am willing to take as much as you have to offer!

I can offer plenty of advice on how to deal with the pressures and ideals of the modern world and society, without passing judgment. For my age, I have a lot of worldly experience, and can offer advice on nearly any situation. I have been through many trials in my existence here, and want to share my experiences with others.
