CURRENT MISSION

to travel, meet interesting people, be spontaneous, and have a good time

ABOUT ME

I am lighthearted, adventurous and spontaneous. I think that in order to really see a place you have to stay away from the tourist spots and really see how people there live.

I love meeting and experiencing new people and things. I'm a very open minded person. I'd really like to live a life without habit and repetition. I have a constant thirst for new things.

PHILOSOPHY

I think our experiences shape us. Living a completely reserved and comfortable life is wasting the life you're given.

I beleive in sponteneity and random chance. i enjoy unpredictability.

I hear and I forget
I see and I remember
I experience and I understand
- Confucius

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couch surfed a few times, It's always awesome. I love to share my experiences with others as well as hear about theirs. I haven't hosted yet, but hopefully when I'm in a more stable living situation I'll ba abe to!

I also like to trade books. It leads to me reading things I normally wouldn't have otherwise.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed for three days in london. great experience. i wasnt able to find a couch beforehand and decided to wing it. best choice i could have made. i found a host at a couch surfing meeting and had the time of my life in london.

Since then I've surfed in Canada and Spain. always an awesome time.

I hope to gain life experience and better understanding of people through my journeys. life's just beginning!

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste is all over the place. I enjoy most genres with very few exceptions, for the most part i love metal and hardcore, anything that has some art to it.

there are too many movies. ask me in person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would have to say my first couchsurfing experience was pretty amazing. i tried in vein to get a host for my london/edinburgh trip. london is a popular city in general, especially during the summer. i knew i was coming to london on the day of a couchsurfing meeting, so i got to london, not knowing where i was going to stay, and found a great host at the meeting. london was great from then on out. its a great city to give yourself a walking tour of. better than i could have asked for.
