CURRENT MISSION

To learn! About Europe. About the people. And the food. I hope to meet other people who are willing to open their minds to new prospects and ways of thinking and expect the same from me.

ABOUT ME

Hey! I love cinema. I love reading. I'm 20 years old. Walking is the best thing ever. I like to cook. During my travels my camera is my best friend. Foods with names that you can't pronounce are usually the best kinds. Only boring people get bored. I'm also pretty good at making people laugh. I find that simply being myself and doing what I choose leads to new and exciting things, so I keep at it. I like to make people feel welcome and I try to be as open as possible when meeting new people.

You can also find me on facebook!

PHILOSOPHY

"Pressure makes diamonds."

"When the last tree is cut, the last river poisoned, and the last fish dead, we will discover that we can't eat money..."

"Try not to confuse attachment with love. Attachment is about fear and dependency, and has more to do with love of self than love of another. Love without attachment is the purest love because it isn't about what others can give you because you're empty. It is about what you can give others because you're already full."

"We know what we want to do, but are afraid of hurting those around us by abandoning everything in order to pursue our dream. We do not realize that love is just a further impetus, not something that will prevent us going forward. We do not realize that those who genuinely wish us well want us to be happy and are prepared to accompany us on that journey."
Paulo Coelho

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first time! Many of my friends have recommended it.

Intereses

I am a massive movie junkie. I am the guy at the movie store who sits there and goes through each individual DVD.
I like to jog and go biking in my university town, where we have the "rail trail" with a great view of the mountains, fruit orchards.
I love reading. My favorites include The Art of Choosing by Sheena Lyengar, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof, The Stranger by Albert Camus, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, and just about anything by David Sedaris because he is hysterical.
