About Me

I was in college for years but I had to drop out for financial reasons so now working full time. I want to enjoy what free time I have so couch surfing seems like a great idea

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people, form new friend ships and just enjoy my life as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

Easy going, love to meet new people talk for hours and learn about new places and things. I also love a good debate and you can be assured that I will never take it to heart if it gets heated, sure debate and good hearted arguments are the spice of life, if we all thought the same we would be in trouble and expressing and learning from others should be everyone's goal in life, or at least one of them :D

PHILOSOPHY

I'm all about honesty with myself and others, does not always work out like that but I do my utmost to be honest and straight forward with people at all times. I also expect the same from others, not hard to accomplish though :)
I also feel that you should treat people as you wish to be treated and as a result I am as helpful as possible because I want people to help me out when I need it.
I am also hate greed, financial security is one thing but greed is something I abhor.
