About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To understand the many cultures, personalities, and religions of this beautiful world.

ABOUT ME

First and foremost I am an adrenaline junkie. Snowboarding, Surfing, Skating, and Skydiving are a must! I am very open-minded yet firm in what I stand for. I would say I definitely have an active mind that I need to constantly feed with research and exploring new activities and ideas. Anything else you wanna know just ask.

PHILOSOPHY

My main philosophy on life is to live it! I am amazed at the amount of people who have no drive to experience the unknown. That is why I decided to go solo when I recently did my first backpacking trip in Europe for the past 2 months. It was an experience that went beyond my wildest imaginations....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just discovered this amazing project and I am working to do anything possible to contribute so if you have any suggestions let me know!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed on couches in London and Dublin and the experiences were amazing to say the least....I also try to attend as many CS events as possible in whatever city I am in.

Interests

I am really into Mixed Martial Arts and I train my butt off 6 days a week, 2-3 hours a night. Nutrition and physical fitness are also very important to me. I absolutely love reading. Meeting new people is of course a vital part in my quest to understand this crazy world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't stand the majority of mainstream music and that is not me trying to be some cool indie kid. It's just that to me most mainstream music seems extremely watered down when compared to the underground style. With that being said I am really into house, dubstep, reggae, indie, 70's and late 60's rock. I am also a diehard underground hip hop head. Basically I am always listening to music and I couldn't imagine life without it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Kuwait for 5 months and slept in a tent for 3 of them...wait is that amazing or just plain brutal? I backpacked Europe Solo for 2 months. I have skydived, jumped off of waterfalls into picturesque lagoons, and survived my childhood...so far anyways :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I have been working as a counselor in the mental health field for about 3 years so if you have some issues you wanna work on well.....Say it with me now "I'm smart, I'm funny, and gosh darnet people like me."....haha.
