About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life, love people, explore language, experience culture

ABOUT ME

I love learning and meeting new people, exchanging ideas and music and great books. I want to make the most of my life, I'm all about spur-of-the-moment decisions and random fun times.

Here's and idea I got from a friend, I thought it would be neat to put it in my profile.

PHILOSOPHY

There is so much to know about the places and people of the world, how we all operate, interact and express ourselves, and I want to make every moment of my life count toward experiencing and better understanding it all

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One thing I think could be great about this is linking networks of great people from all over.  My philosophy of CS brings mutual benefit to both parties. I think that CSing can be a very awesome experience for both host and surfer, surfing isn't just having a place to stay, its a way to meet new people and expand your horizons!
