CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to see and experience as much of the world and foreign cultures as i can during my life.

ABOUT ME

I am adventurous, outgoing, kind, helpful. I just love life and I understand how short our time is here and I want to make the most of it. I hope that bu using this service, I will be able to expand my horizons beyond my fiscal limitations.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to experience and learn as much as possible. I would classify myself as an existentialist and a socialist. And love to hear from others about their beliefs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a couple times and it was always a great experience. I enjoy being able to take people to the most beautiful parts of Maine when I have the time. And so far, I have not ever stayed with a host, but sometime.

Interests

I love music, and I also love to read (Bukowski, Camus, Rand, Gorky, Sartre, Robbins, Murakami, etc). I love to hike, ski, and spend as much time outside as possible. But i also love to sit indoors and have a mind expanding conversation with good people. Im basically interested in creating experiences, growing myself, and helping to grow others.
