CURRENT MISSION

to learn as much about the world and its people as I possibly can

ABOUT ME

I always try to be honest, polite and respectful towards others. But, like everyone else, I do certainly have my quirks, mostly laziness and moodiness at times. I'm not easily provoked and not belligerent. I could probably come off as boring if I wanted to, but not problematic. I'm fairly understanding of others' lifestyles and choices even if I'm extremely critical about my own. Also, candy (especially chocolate) is a good way to placate/manipulate me =D

PHILOSOPHY

I've been told my views are a bit Catholic, though I wasn't brought up under that religion. If I'm still alive it means I still have a purpose to serve, whatever it may be. So the best I can do is pursue my interests and try to create some good in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I suppose it's more of an ambassador role. I'm 110% for meeting different people and exploring backgrounds that aren't the same as mine. World unity is both a boring and scary concept to me, so I'm more comfortable with understanding and tolerance.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, but I'm hoping to write something interesting in here soon!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time, I saw a newly broken-off piece of glacier in Alaska. It was so surreal! Back home in San Diego when I went to Sea World I had always wondered where they got the idea that glaciers were such a pretty shade of bright blue, because it can't have been an accurate depiction, right? I was so wrong, though! The glacier I saw in Alaska looked like a plastic toy, though someone explained to me that everything I saw was a completely natural chemical reaction involving the ice and the air. Anyway, the bright blue shade doesn't last long, so...if you're ever in Alaska and you hear about a piece of glacier breaking off...you should probably go see it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Lambertz Schokoladen Lebkuchen are the best. I feel both wonderful and terrible for eating a box of them on my own. But seriously, I urge anyone who isn't obsessed with their health to try one.
