CURRENT MISSION

To give my life meaning.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and making new friends. Nothing beats the combination of good people, good food, and good conversation. Sometimes I'm very awkward.

PHILOSOPHY

It's important to remember what's not important.

If you learn from everything, then you can regret nothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As a child, it seemed like there was always someone staying on our couch. Of course, we were helping someone out who was down on their luck, not traveling the world. There were always new stories to hear and jokes to be told. I love it. Except on Saturdays, when our guest usually wanted to sleep in and I wanted to watch cartoons.

Interests

Pretty much anything.

• dining
• cartoons
• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorites:
Cry-Baby, The Secret of Kells, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ponyo, Crash, Main Hoon Na, Fight Club, Parineeta, Veer-Zaara

Cry, The Beloved Country, Battle Royale, City of Joy, 1984, Catch-22, Lolita

I don't really listen to music. Reggaeton, sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm sure I could think of something specific if I tried. But you know what? There are amazing things to see and do every damn day you're alive. Last month, I saw a large bee digging a hole in a crack in a parking lot. Yesterday, I stopped my car (and a little bit of traffic) to rescue a snapping turtle crossing the road.
