About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live my life to the fullest and best of my abilities, through mind, body, spirit, and will.

ABOUT ME

Citizen of the world. Earth is my home. I've lived in Taiwan, the States, Czech Republic, Thailand, and Greece growing up. I've visited some other places here and there as well...you know. Enough about me, what's your story?

I like to stay active, meet new people, and DO AWESOME STUFF.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the best that you can be at all times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting CSers and distant travelers as best I can. Also will try to hang out with other CSers in the area at local events if the stars align and the mood strikes.

Really the key purpose is to meet new and interesting people and make global friends and connections. Bonus points for being able to learn and come away with something from one another.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still relatively new to this!

Interests

Kung fu, bicycles, metal working, music, tennis, running, movies, travelling, having fun, exploring, adventures, doing anything crazy (in a good way), and everything else that I forgot and/or too long to list.

  • birds
  • cooking
  • running
  • flying
  • movies
  • traveling
  • music
  • skydiving
  • tennis
  • languages
  • science

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: anything that doesn't suck (too many to list honestly speaking). I'd say Fight Club is a good movie. I know it can be weird but it is deeeeep.

Music: Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, a lot of the older rock/metal bands with good guitar and instrumentals. Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana. Rage Against the Machine is classic yet ahead of their time at the same time.

I've also been getting into the electronic and post-rock scene more recently. God is an Astronaut, anyone?

Books: I'd rather have a discussion on this, but philosophy books can be pretty right on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving was pretty cool.

Having eagles and hawks and vultures and other descendants of dinosaurs flying right by your head in a birds of prey show next to a castle on top of a hill in Austria was pretty sweet as well.

Really I think nature holds some of the most beautiful treasures in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's see, having a mere quarter century existence on this planet, can't say I know a whole lot. I know a little bit about the following:
1. Rocket science?
2. Bicycle repair
3. Kung fu
4. Supersonic wind tunnels
5. How to cook rice

Everything else you would think I know I pretend to know.

I would love to learn the following languages:
German, Spanish

I guess I could always use some major work on my Chinese too...
