About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am currently on a road-trip around the US with two close friends. Personally, I'm most interested in the outdoor spaces, the different ways of living in the US and the FOOD around the country.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy playing games and being outdoors. Beer and milk are my drinks of choice. I'm currently on a traveling spree - I have recently returned from 6 months in Asia, and I'm now on a road-trip across the US. (I like traveling.)

PHILOSOPHY

I try not to judge people too much. I generally like to be friendly and let everyone do what they want, especially if they're being considerate, too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have not participated. I met many people in Asia who are members of the CS community, who only had good things to say about it. Since I've been back I haven't exactly had a couch to lend, so I haven't done it that way yet. I did let someone in need crash on the floor in the room I had before my current trip and he turned out to be a CS member stuck in a last minute need for a place.

I will update this after my road-trip!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most recent amazing thing that still blows me away is going scuba diving! I took a course on an island in Thailand, and the feeling of breathing underwater and floating around, adjusting my position by breathing, entering an entirely different world is unbelievable. The fish and rays and corral(!) underwater are like nothing I've seen except maybe on Planet Earth episodes. I highly recommend the experience for anyone who can do it.
