CURRENT MISSION

To make life an adventure

ABOUT ME

I'm looking forward to traveling more often in the future. I hadn't gone much anywhere new over the last few years until a recent trip to Chicago, Illinois, which I really enjoyed. So I hope to see a lot more of the United States, and even the world, over the coming years. I feel quite enthusiastic about seeing the whole world, but finding the money and time off work/school for it are obstacles I'm going to have to find my way around!

PHILOSOPHY

I like to take a positive outlook on life, and always try to see the bright side of things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some really interesting people at a recent Couchsurfers Potluck, but I've yet to Couchsurf with anyone. Once I get a little more free time, I hope to explore a bit of Pennsylvania, then some more of America, and eventually other parts of the world.

Interests

I love to read. I recently finished reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which was really good. I'm also always on the lookout for a good article at The New York Times Online.

Teach, Learn, Share

I took martial arts for a few years, so I'd be happy to teach what I know about that, even though I'm not nearly as interested in it as I used to be. I love to learn, so if you have anything to teach that's practical or just plain fun, I'm open to it.
