CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the US as I can, because I can't share my culture and country with others if I don't explore it.

ABOUT ME

It is very difficult to be introspective in a comment box. I will tell you all about me with a series of random sentences. I cant expect others to enjoy or want to see my country if I haven't. I am very interested in both Domestic and International travel. I want to experience building a sweat lodge in the woods and hanging out while enjoying some steam. I love Alaska and want to go back annually, or move there--whichever is more feasible. I have no idea what I want to do career wise with my life. I am independent minded but form very close bonds with my closest friends. I am not opposed to playing tag over the age of 24. I like it when girls are involved in science, it makes me feel like were are proving to everyone that we are smart and can succeed. Hiking makes the happiest I think I can be. When hiking through bear country I can often be heard rapping and making up conversations with any bears in the area to keep them at bay. I have a blog about haikus...its supposed to be funny.

PHILOSOPHY

Cynical but biologically correct philosophy: Eat, shit, and die.
How I want to live my life: do what you love and fuck everything else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new, but I would love to show people around my town, wherever that is at the time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The only couchsurfing experiences I have are through friends. My friends have surfed all over the world, so I figured that was the best testimonial I could get.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Right after graduation, my best friend and I went to Denali Alaska to work and live for 4.5 months. It was the best thing I have ever done. It was daring for me at the time but I am so glad I broke out of my shell and did it. I am now in love with Alaska
