ABOUT ME
From South Carolina; grew up in 中国; Living in Oregon.

PHILOSOPHY
"Do unto others as you'd have them do to you."

I know Jesus said that originally - well, maybe not originally - but who cares. Point is, life isn't about being comfortable - it's about our relationships. Happiness is not an end in itself, but, rather, a byproduct of creating a better world around us.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

Um, it's a great idea.

Interesses

I like the smell of fresh cut wood, grass, gasoline, and rain.

Besides this, I love the sunshine, endorphins, being super hydrated, running, climbing, surfing, being asked questions that challenge me, making coffee, reading books, sleeping outdoors, taking photos, being in the water, hiking in the mountains, and eating burritos.
