CURRENT MISSION

To fly anywhere and everywhere I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm an extremely laid back person. I have a go with the flow attitude towards most things in life. I'm very interested in learning everything I can and see all there is to see. I have nothing holding me anywhere and I'm going to take advantage of it now while I can. I try to be as active as possible cause theres always something else to see. Why waste time while we're here, right?

PHILOSOPHY

Kill them with kindness. I try to be the nicest person you will ever meet, because I want to be treated that way. I don't want to go through life being mean to people, or screwing people over, because while nice guys finish last, we have tons of friends at the end.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am simply getting my friends and family to become aware of this site, and hopefully they will participate someday. Spreading the knowledge of this website and the attitude of community it shares.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few times through this website with mixed results. I'm really excited to get use it more this year. I've technically couchsurfed quite a bit!

Interests

Music first and foremost. Followed closely by learning. I want to learn and experience EVERYTHING! I want to know everything there is to know. There's always something to go do, there'll be time to sit around when I'm old. I absolutely love to cook. I was a chef for many years, but I'm not a baker so I'm no good for desert. I'm interested in seeing new cities and what they're all about. Every city I visit I end up falling in love with. I like to see what the residents see, not just the tourists sights. I want to meet everyone who's worth meeting. I'm also into Apple computers and products. I prefer them after years and years of building and fixing windows computers. I'm into Yoga!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Horror movies are my absolute favorite. Zombie movies especially. Favorite? Night of the Living Dead. But I love a good comedy or action. I could talk about all my favorite movies for hours, but no way am I listing them all. Anime, cartoon, and CGI movies are good with me too. I pretty much just don't like romantic comedies and Westerns

Music: Metal, Industrial, Drum n' Bass, Hip Hop, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Classical, Bluegrass, Alternative.. Pretty much anything but Pop and Country.

Books: So many to list. On The Road, The Giver, 1984, Brave New World, The Road, A People's History of the United States, Noam Chomsky, and any R.A. Salvatore, or Clive Barker book.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach quite a few things actually. I've worked a ton of different jobs and learned from all of them. Most experience is in music. Pretty much anything having to do with music. Recorded, Live, anything. I'm also really good with computers. Especially Apple. I was a chef for years, but couldn't stand the hours. But I think I'm a really good chef, I was employed for a long time as one and usually get compliments, so I can help with that. I'm pretty handy and can fix a wide range of things from being a roofer, carpentry, metal work, minor auto mechanic, and a machinist.
