CURRENT MISSION

Deep down I feel that life is run off of karma, and if I expect others to treat me well then I believe me doing the same makes all the difference.

ABOUT ME

Laid back. I like to do anything from skydiving to scuba diving. And when I,m not traveling I love to read and write. I have recently taken up photography for the last few months.

PHILOSOPHY

With no regrets, meaning I would never dream of doing something I could anguish over later. Life can suck bad enough, it doesn't need my help.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I write, and am a hermit most of the year (other than vacation time, when I purposely have little inhibitions when it comes to socializing). I am here because I not only want to find local ppl that live nearby that will help me get to know the area more, but I also want to turn around and offer the same assistance to others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as of yet

Interests

Day to day I eat a strict diet, read, and write 12 hours a day (finished writing 3 books so far).

However, when traveling I do none of those things and concentrate on any sort of extreme sport I can do at my own pace (I move slowly). The idea is to live life to the fullest so I have something to write about :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Fantasy (witches, wizards, dragons), is the sort of stuff I like the most, but I also read lots of murder-mysteries and espionage. For music I like country music, but I enjoy everything except rap and r&b

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Because not many have done it, I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and the Pacific Crest Trial: at one time (1.5 years total). I am a middle school math teacher, and certified English as a Second Language (ESL), teacher, but I only speak English, and a 100 Spanish words.

Teach, Learn, Share

The more different their culture the more I enjoy it. I am a certified ESL (English as a Second Language), teacher.
