CURRENT MISSION

I want be a part of the world outside of the box or tube or whatever you want to call it.

ABOUT ME

Let's see, I have lived in many different cities of all different types; from the inner-city ghetto to the cracker jack suburb. I taught English near Seoul, South Korea for a couple of years. I have been to Japan, Thailand and Spain.

I love to do things outside, camping, hiking, rollerblading, etc. My favorite season is fall and right now it is beautifall in Minneapolis and I am not particularly looking forward to what winter has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what happens while you're making plans; all that you need is right here in your hands.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just learned about this website and find it much more interesting and engaging than its myspace and facebook counterparts.

Interests

I am interested in anything real. I don't appreciate fakeness or the mundane. I like things to be everchanging and flexible. I love to travel and be able to throw the itinerary out the window - life is much more enjoyable without a plan.
