CURRENT MISSION

Pursuit of happiness, adventure, good food and conversation, and great stories/memories to share.

ABOUT ME

Who likes writing about themselves? I don't, but I suppose it's necessary when asking a 'stranger' if you can share a bit of your life with them and vice versa....

Some things I am passionate about are: traveling, food, anything weird and funny, and people with different opinions as long as they can back it up. I love good conversations and colorful stories and I'm always down for getting my hands dirty whether it be an adventure an art project or some humanitarian work.

The only thing constant about me is that I'm constantly changing my plans. I am constantly on the hunt I just don't know what for; I'm a ship without an anchor.

I'm an old soul but I'm always down for an adventure or a party. I value my independence but nothing beats great company. I'm not a smoker, but I tend to smoke now and then when on vacations. I love being active, I have always been involved in sports, and when not participating a good sports bar watching the game is a good substitute.

I'm free spirited, very relaxed easy going, it would be difficult to make me mad; I'm always laughing and I think one of my gifts is being able to see the humor in any situation.

[ESP] Me encanta aprender. Me encanta reír. Soy un gran oyente. Aprecio el buen alimento y una buena bebida. Estoy siempre para una aventura y como saltar dos pies primeros en cualquier cosa hago. Mi curiosidad compite con cualquier hijo que tiene 5 años que usted sepa. No tengo miedo de conseguir mis manos sucias; más diversión implicada eso manera.

[FRE] Il enchante m'apprendre. Il enchante me rire. Je suis un auditeur bien. Je apprécie le bon aliment et le bonne boisson. Je suis toujours pour une aventure. Ma curiosité concurrence avec tout fils qui a 5 années. Je n'ai pas de la peur d'obtenir mes mains sales; davantage de divertissement impliqué cela manière.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't regret anything you do, travel whenever you can, and don't let opportunities pass you by. The worst that could happen would be some funny stories for your friends and family. Besides, life is too short to be so serious!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had heard about couch surfing before, but never joined up because I had been living with my parents or roommates. I joined up while on this trip once I changed it from a one month trip to an open ended one so I could possibly find people to travel with. Having safe places to stay and hopefully make some new lifelong friends along the way is an added bonus and beats the touristy hotel scene!

I'll be learning the ropes of surfing and how to contribute and give back to the communities where I am hosted and the people gracious enough to host me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm still wet behind the ears... I'll change this later once I have experience under my belt.
