I am a bboy (break dancer). I travel on a daily basis competing on a national level. I'm in a new state almost every weekend. I love it cause it gives me the opportunity to do what I love and I've been to places I've never thought I'd go and met amazing people who have helped me progress through life. Traveling is a beautiful thing.

Aside from dancing and travelling. I'm a writer. I'm currently working on my career as a novelist.
I decided to go the unconventional route of school and instead of applying and going to college I go to the local University near my apartment and sit in on college lectures that interest me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing allows me to find like-minded people who are willing to explore and to go into the unknown fearlessly to seek knowledge and understanding and to see new things and to truly experience them.

Interests

Books, movies, dancing, socializing and having good conversation--the kind where we talk about what's beneath the surface level and not just using words to fill the space.
I'm pretty much down for anything. Going on adventures not knowing what the hell is going to happen is my ultimate vice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Straight out of high school, I made an impulsive decision to backpack the country instead of going to school.
I went for five months and it was the most amazing experience of my life.
Despite getting dirty, broke, behing homless and sleeping on benches at the greyhound station selling cigarettes to make money for the next day, it was all worth it in the end.
I met friends that changed my life and whom I'll never forget.
I saw things I never thought I would.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach and share anything I have experienced in my 20 years of living. Also, some sweet break dance moves if you're into that. I'm willing to learn anything you have to offer me.
A quote I live by is "Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases when shared." - Buddha. And that can sum up what I can share and teach.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company and a crazy adventure.
