About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To join Couchsurfing?

ABOUT ME

I am a fairly active guy - my hobby and the love of my life is photography. I am also very active in local music scene and attend a large number of shows. I also love to read, travel, and enjoy film. As far as personality goes I am can be pretty sarcastic and cynical, but am definitely not morose. More often than not I will laugh about what I find ridiculous rather than to cry about it, so to speak. Overall I am a pretty nice guy.

PHILOSOPHY

Never be afraid of an adventure, whether its just staying out until 4am or hitchhiking across a country.
