CURRENT MISSION

Global domination...but in the meantime, meet new people, share some unique experiences, and leave the continent on its back laughing.

ABOUT ME

My name is Gannon. I'm a writer with some spare time, heavily afflicted by the travel bug. I play guitar and sing poorly and try to immerse myself in anything new. I'd just like to meet a bunch of people, tell them bad jokes, and learn curse words in foreign languages. I don't really know how to describe myself, so I'll just say this... moms love me. I don't know why. If that means you want to hang out, well, all the better.

PHILOSOPHY

My motto for my trip across Europe is: The Joy That Failure Brings. I´d gotten to where the fear of failure in life outweighed any risk, and that´s annoying. I keep forgetting that it feels good to make an as out of yourself, say hello to your flaws and never stop evolving.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like rock music, Incubus, Brand New, Circa Survive, etc. Tons of movies, off the top of my head - Fight Club, Children of Men, Punch-drunk Love, V for Vendetta, Braveheart, Lucky Number Slevin, Step Brothers, and Fired Up. Also love a ton of books, I´m a diehard Chuck Palahniuk fan, and I also enjoyed The Dice Man, Ender´s Game, The Raw Shark Texts, The Fountainhead, and Neuromancer. And Clifford.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess that I´m in Europe now. I left by myself, without knowing a single person over here, essentially not knowing any foreign language, and with little money.

Teach, Learn, Share

I, as of this writing, haven´t received or given a couch to sleep on, so I know nothing. All I can speak to is spending the night at friends´ dorms, and all I learned from that was, know where the bathroom is and don´t be the first to fall asleep.
