CURRENT MISSION

I'm just an ordinary soul with miles of growing yet to grow.

ABOUT ME

I'm an animator and thus, I'm fascinated over the eccentricities of human character and the spontaneous flow of the world. Movement is documented in keyframes and camera shots. Interactions of man -- to himself, to each other, to the world -- constantly feed my curiosity to learn more. I've been working on finding a balance between my rational and emotional self. In striving for this, I've become more compassionate about mankind/the earth. If there's an energy flowing through us and reacting to every other "thing" on this planet, the least we can do is try to understand each other.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel as though I am too young yet to really identify my personal philosophy. I'm currently in the stage where the speed of my personal evolution outruns my ability to fathom it all.

All I know is that I don't know anything, but I am hypnotized by the beauty of life and fascinated by the complexities of human kind. And so, I will forever be learning.

I suffer from the same lack of direction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only just begun to participate. Future plans include branching out through the CS community, extend my help and conversation when I can, receive all that's given back. I don't know the depths of where I'll go, but gee golly whiz... I'm already off wanderin'.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still a meek contributor to the community, I've attended a handful of picnic outings, dive bar hoppings, and general group antics. People are truly remarkable when they are at ease with life and friends. The shenanigans, conversations, and constant feed of positivity from these folk are really what I've been needing for a large portion of my life -- I simply didn't know it existed.

Interests

Animation, music, film, storytelling, adventuring, dreaming, being proactive, enjoying the simple things, photography, art, conversation, dancing, yoga, epic epiphanies, painting, self-evolution, laughing, finding the beauty in life and letting it carry me away.
