About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Finding the courage to grow!"

ABOUT ME

I'm a realist, optimist, and adventurer! I choose positivity over anything and love to see people happy. I live for new experiences and am trying to challenge myself to do all of the things that scare me the most. I can be a lot of fun and have a great night on the town but also love getting into a great conversation especially with someone who has a different outlook on life or something new to share. I am planning on taking the next few years of life to travel and experience this beautiful earth and its diverse peoples. Hopefully through Couchsurfing I can get a more realistic look at the culture of where I'm staying and can make some new interesting friends in the process!

PHILOSOPHY

I live to figure out what it is that I need to know that I do not yet. I have a craving for new things and adventures, as well as trying to find a side of me that I know is there but rarely comes out.

"The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I refer worthy and beneficial people to the project so they can contribute their beauty to others

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had hosts in Ireland, England, Czech Republic, Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands, and Scotland! I have been introduced to great new people and was really treated kind. It shows that there are still a lot of great people in this world!

I just hosted my first guest and it was great! Can't wait for my next CSer :)

Interests

Soccer, wakeboarding, snowboarding, music, trying to learn the guitar, random coincidences, being lost yet being safe, reading, and just seeing and experiencing new things. I love meeting new people because life is about enjoying people and not objects or possessions!

Music, Movies, and Books

Green Street Hooligans, Shawshank Redemption, Dumb & Dumber, Into the Wild, Gladiator, Braveheart, Anchorman, Beerfest, Crank, Bourne Identity, and a whole lot more.

Atmosphere, Incubus, Rebelution, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iron & Wine, 311, Muse, Snow Patrol, Benny Benassi, Bloody Beetroots, Tiesto, The Used, Augustana, Bob Marley, Chevelle, Pepper, The Expendables, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, Ratatat, Silversun Pickups, Slightly Stoopid...to name a few among many others. I like to have a well rounded collection of music and am constantly searching for new artists.

I love to read anything captivating and I find that to be most of everything. I get trapped in books and find them hard to put down. Same with music any recommendations I get from people I am willing to try out. The Alchemist is one of my favorites and really has inspired me. I like Jack Kerouac, John Grisham, Mary Higgins Clark, Dan Brown, and Paulo Coelho books. I currently have a very long list of books I am trying to get the chance to read
