CURRENT MISSION

To experience everything I can

ABOUT ME

I'm tall. I'm not graceful, but I'm poised. It may seem like I am a random person, but in fact, most of the things I say have been well thought out. I like to be busy working and socializing with people, but I am somewhat of a recluse. I enjoy painting and wish I could do it more often. I don't care to know what is going on in the popular culture. I need to get out into the woods/coast every so often so that I can function normally. I love to travel and think that it is an experience that all people who are able should do.

PHILOSOPHY

Do something that scares you everyday. Fear gives us wisdom. It makes us work harder then we ever imagined we could.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A couple of events while I lived in Germany, other than that just hearing all of the great stories from friends who have couch surfed.

Interests

Hiking in the Gorge, painting, playing my guitar, talking to my fish and pretending he understands me, building things, taking pictures, riding my sweet bike, cooking amazing vegan food, meeting new people and having a great time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I must say, the view from the top of Gibraltar is amazing. I've also had my toe bitten by a penguin.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't make a decision based on anyone else. You will never be happy that way. Don't do something because you think you should, you will never truly enjoy it. Sometimes in life we must do things that are unpleasant and that we would rather not be doing. My advice is that if you have the choice always go with your heart. If you don't know what your heart is telling you then go with your first instinct, it is usually the right thing.
