I enjoy the little things in life - the things that must of us are too preoccupied with their life to take notice of. Making people laugh and bringing them happiness in whatever way I can is an important part of who I am.

The things we should celebrate are our imperfections, the things that make us unique. If you consider yourself weird or strange, we'll get along just fine. In fact, I prefer it if you are.

I enjoy nightlife (music, clubs, dancing, drinking, and smoking) and would love to be shown around local dive bars or clubs with awesome music (anything from hip-hop to funk to house to trance)

I'm a huge fan of sports- hockey, soccer(football), and skateboarding and enjoy participating and playing sports more than watching

I enjoy creative outlets, - writing, making music, and art - after all, where would the human race be without creative expression?

I am an improv actor, photographer, and social activist, and am working on blending my passions into one seamless career. Connecting and communicating with others is an important part of my art, and indeed, of who I am. I can relate to almost any experience, as I've been through a lot myself.

But, my personality is too complex to be summed up into a coherent paragraph, and I couldn't possibly sum up my life experiences, hobbies, passions, and quirks to adequately describe who I am, and why I act the way that I do.

Above all, I enjoy learning about myself, others, and the world around me. If you're curious about anything, don't be a stranger and ask...how does that one quote go? "the only stupid question is the one that is unasked"...or something like that.

Thank you kindly for taking the time to read this. Eternal love to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with potential hosts as I travel the world and share experience, knowledge, and laughter

I've been to Europe several times before and done all of the "touristy" things, so my purpose this time around is to connect with locals and soak in the culture.

I am on the hunt for local music, pubs/bars, and hangouts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am more than happy to share my linguistic, culinary, or artistic skills. I am happy to teach, and even more than willing to learn - from those older and/or more experienced.

More so, I can share laughter, joy, happiness, food, drinks, conversation and humanity.
