About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy every moment of every day!

ABOUT ME

Well I am a very grounded person that is not afraid to try new things, what ever they may be. I am a free spirit that loves to travel and explore. I am starting off my second 3 month trip around the UK and Europe. Two years a go was my first time to Europe and I absolutely loved it. I met so many cool people, and explored so many cool places through CouchSurfing and have stayed in contact with most of my CS friends. I can't wait to make more CS friends and keep on exploring and living it up!

PHILOSOPHY

I am a student of life, or a "life time student". There is always some thing new I would like to learn. So I am humble in being a student of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Communication is key, talking to other travelers about the places they have been and things they have seen is always good. If any one has questions about travel in the US or Mexico I can offer help for those questions. I think learning about new cultures and living life to the fullest should not cost money. The best things in life are always free. So if you have a questions about places I have been the feel free to ask.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In the summer of 2009 I couched surfed for the first time and had a blast! I met some awesome people that shared my same desire to enjoy life and help others. I went to the CS International meeting in Barcelona and met tons of cool and fun people from all over the world. From that point on I was hooked on CS. Everyone I stayed with was so nice and hospitable.
I am a very easy going person, with genuine motives. I like to give as much as I receive. I think that is why I get invited back to stay with friends and couchsurfers time and time again.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies & music...way to many to list. I love all types of music and movies but I don't want to ramble on and on about that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the new wonders of the world. Chichen Itza pyramids in Mexico are magnificent. The last couple years I have been able to only work 9 months a year and take a 3 month a vacation to explore and live. Not may people have that adventurous ambition.

I spent a month in Spain traveling and enjoying the Spanish ways. Even ran with the bull in San Fermin. Scariest and most exciting thing I have ever done!

This year I hiked my first 14,000 foot mountain in Colorado. I never thought I would have the chance to do such a hard hike and I made it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share my knowledge, especially if you are interested in some place I have been. I don't mind educating any one that has questions, so ask away.

Countries I’ve Visited

Ireland, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom
