CURRENT MISSION

explore the road less traveled

ABOUT ME

I'm open-minded, well-grounded, easy-going, and open to pretty much anything. I make a very good friend, and have plenty of people that will vouch for that.

I've spent a lifetime learning about people, and value meaningful relationships above all else.

PHILOSOPHY

What would you do if you knew you would not fail?

You can learn more about someone in an hour of play than a week of conversation. ~Plato

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking to see what CouchSurfing.com is all about so I can learn how to reciprocate and give back, and be a part of the global travel community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had one yet, but I'm really looking forward to surfing and will update once that has happened. I love the whole idea of sharing space, time, and knowledge between people that have yet to meet.

Interests

I love to learn about people, to discover the new and interesting, and games.

People intrigue me and I've spent my life obtaining the tools to understand others. I love to have new adventures, and while I'm a thrill-seeker and kid at heart, I don't need extremes to be happy. A lot of times I find the very simple to be the most memorable.

I'm really open to anything.

• traveling
• surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Substance and quality hold the keys to my heart but I can't get away from pop culture stuff too. I'm pretty much into anything and everything.

Fight Club; Inception; Donnie Darko; Crash; Oldboy; Pay it Forward; Casino; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; The Usual Suspects; Lord of the Rings; and many, many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's the little and obscure that amaze me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be happy to teach English. And by teach, I mean actually put together a lesson-plan and spend time helping someone to learn. That, or just plain old conversation.

I want to learn about other cultures through the stories of individual people. Whether they know it or not, each person has a story to tell.
