CURRENT MISSION

To have an outstanding time and experience in Australia for 2010, meet great people, and go awesome places.

ABOUT ME

I am a person who thinks life is about experiences and passion to live that involves trying new things and getting out of your comfort zone a little to see what life may have in store for you. The older I've grown the more open minded and interested I've become to all types of people, cultures and ways of life out there. I have a desire explore the world, make new friends and have a great time while I do it.
I love to play and listen to music, be outdoors in nature, play sports and competition, eat great food, all different forms of art, photography, and film among other things.
I've lived and traveled all over the U.S. throughout my childhood and continue to do so.
Now, I just moved to Australia as of Jan. 8th, 2010 and I'm traveling around trying to meet new people and see what this country has to offer. I think I'm in for a bit of an adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about experience, and you're not really living if you're not trying new things, meeting new people, and improving your own life in different aspects.
Get out and stay out of your comfort zone, sometimes amazing things happen when you least expect it (and usually don't happen if you're sitting on the couch, haha).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To be continued...this leg of my profile hasn't much experience yet, but I will host, I will surf and I'd love to meet other surfers in the area to share stories and travel experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on many a couch, usually not so organized, and usually just around my hometown after a fun night out or what not.
So far my organized couchsurfing has been fantastic with great hosts and good times all around.

Interests

Playing and listening to music, interesting people, all different forms of art, riding on boards of any kind, traveling of course, motorcycling, learning new things, appreciating beer, wine and spirits, great food, cooking great food, working out and staying active, animals, furry or not, staying close to family and friends, reading, writing, photography, sports, and sleeping.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music in itself is enjoyable, I can appreciate almost any flavor out there but really like folk rock, island jams, alternative rock, electro, and country.
Some of my favorite movies would be boondock saints, the matrix, last of the mohicans.
I like inspirational books and mostly non-fiction. I like to read about interesting things that actually happened, although fiction is usually very entertaining and can open the mind a little.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ripped my ear half way off while biking when I was just 7 years old. Saw a silhouette of a person in the ocean waving and being circled by a fin from a cliff near my old house in California (a body washed up on shore the next day!)
