About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the words that describe my desperate generation, lost and forlorn in a world far lacking from our parents' promises

ABOUT ME

Aye, I spent the last year hitch-hiking around the country running headlong into strange strangers with words that shook up the god-spoken foundations of my life. Well, and simply put, I am a passionate individual in a mad, mad search for something indescribable. I read much, music much and write much. I enjoy people and simply that - the who and how of the whole thing matters little.

PHILOSOPHY

There must be a common thread that connects mankind.

Why do we continue our history of violence on earth? How can we end senseless wars?

In a man or woman's life, the one single thing that matters is the desperate search to accept one's own existence. All other things are fruitless.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted, surfed and have enjoyed it thoroughly.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been nothing but good to me. I've been on couches in the strangest places in the country and have hosted travelers far away corners, creating friendships that will last me until the day I die. Couchsurfing is nothing short of a way of life.

Interests

Philosophy, politics, social justice, music of all kinds, art, literature, coffee. Humanity is the most interesting thing I have ever encountered.
