I'm a 23-year-old (Almost 24. Damn.) average guy with a plain lifestyle. I want to see, feel, and hear the world around me! I plan to travel soon, but I would also love to meet new people at home. Positive vibes can save a person's life and I intend to do everything I can to leave the world better than how I found it.

If I had to live by a motto, for those who were wondering, it would be Hemingway's wonderful summation: "It's a fine world and worth fighting for."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm tired of just "wanting" to travel and have experiences. I guess I'm tainted. I studied in London for the summer of 2012 and I've wanted to see even more of the world ever since! So, let's venture into the unknown together and find something worth fighting for!

Interests

My passion for film is borderline obsessive. Anything cinema-related I will devour. I'm also a proponent of reading and taking yourself to worlds you could never imagine. I yearn for competent discussion and thrive for making the best of friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This probably won't sound amazing to you, but I went to South by Southwest in 2013 and did nothing but watch movies, eat popcorn, and drink booze for a week. It was magic.
