About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience different places and meet great people who share similar interests along the way.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself to be an out going, friendly individual. I'm also open-minded, down to earth and up for new experiences. There are goals in life I hope to achieve with a positive mind set. My passions are producing music, snowboarding and exploring during my travels. I want to meet as many people as I can out there who I can relate and build relations. Being active and healthy is also something I strongly believe in. There is still a lot I need to experience to figure out what I want to do in this life.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a journey that's filled with challenges. As long as you maintain a positive mind set, things will work out. Do what makes you happy to the fullest throughout your life. If you can dream it, then you should go out and get it... Make it count.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting couchsurfers at the different cities I've visited across the country

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was about a little over a month ago with a CS who hosted my friend and I in St. Louis, Missouri on our drive across the U.S. Undoubtedly the most wonderful CS host I've encountered so far. She was so welcoming and showed us an unforgettable time during our two days there. I've met some amazing CS's ever since, both traveler's and hosts. Finally out on the west coast, hoping to get involved with more CS's and hopefully host as soon as I can!

Interests

My interests include making music. Whether it includes playing drums, trumpet, beat-boxing, producing or mixing. One of my other passions includes snowboarding. I'm a humble person who looks forward to travel in the future, experience new beginnings and enjoy life in the process.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I was an intern for two months at one of the most historic sound recording studios in Los Angeles last summer (2012)
- I've driven my car across the country starting from my home in Miami, FL up to San Francisco, CA in just about 2 months; Making new friends and stopping at some incredible places such as national parks along the way.
- Worked as a volunteer at this year's Bonnaroo Arts and Music Festival in Tennessee and got to see the one and only Paul McCartney perform live... for free!

Teach, Learn, Share

The best time to purchase cheap domestic flight tickets in the U.S is Tuesday afternoons at 3pm... random fact. I've taught some drumset and trumpet to people in the past. I'd say take every new experience with the most positive mindset possible. It may be one of the most memorable life changing times in your life.
