What can i say..I'm a mix bag of contradictions like everyone else. I like people with manners and kindness and hanging out with lots of friends but i do like plenty of time alone. I'm high energy but a chilled personality. I have an open mind but i am close minded when it comes to fundamentalism in the western religions and right wing politics. I can rough it and somewhat a nature boy but do like posh beds and fancy bathrooms. Movie buff but hate television. I love flowers and flowers on my motorbike helmets, tattoos but hate them on bed covers and curtains. I'm educated and like to think of myself as a sophisticated worldly person but my mom thinks i'm a redneck. I like to shoot guns but i'm not a gun nut and believe in common sense gun control laws. blah blah blah.. i guess i can just run my mouth and expound on more but brevity is soul of the wit..

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I usually stay at hotels and hostels while traveling but was recommended to try out couchsurfing and haven't tried it out yet. I figure what goes around, comes around, karma and all that so perhaps i should become a host and meet fellow travelers and the next time i travel I should use couchsurfing to meet locals who can show me their favorites places in their home town and introduce me to their friends.
