About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I haven't really put much thought into my "mission" but I want to see the world and actually experience it. Discovery channel has opened my eyes to the things Earth has to offer, now I want to see them

ABOUT ME

"The object is to be in a constant state of departure while always arriving" - Waking Life

I love to laugh, it's really necessary to my survival. Almost everything is funny or comically-awkward to me. Music is equally necessary. My interests are all over the board and I'm quite random and quirky sometimes, other times I’m content in silence.

I love art, although I don't really have the time/space to make as much as I would like to. I'm in the navy, so that plays a big part in it's hindrance. However, it replaces that ability with the means to travel all over the world! I feel pretty fortunate to be able to do all that I have, but still want to see more.

PHILOSOPHY

*Life is about being Successful and Happy. but not happy because you're successful, and maybe not even successful because you're happy, maybe they both need to be self sustaining for reasons outside of their own presence.

*First impressions aren't always the one's that last.

*Those are both actually mine* attempted copyright,ha

I try not to worry about those things which I cannot change. Love these:

"the only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen all at once." Einstein

"A man's feet should be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world" - George Santayana

"Only dead fish swim with the current"- Dr. J Mobius

"Art is a lie, which makes us realize the truth" - Picasso

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was living in Athens, Georgia (2009) I starting playing frisbee with some neighbors and they invited me to a CS potluck and explained it all to me. That was it, it sounded like a great idea... I was fortunate enough to meet up with two great hosts in Amsterdam and they showed me around the city and enriched my experience during the trip without a doubt!
