CURRENT MISSION

To see the world from my own two eyes, ramble on, and make connections with anyone I can.

ABOUT ME

You know that person who is interested in almost everything? That guy that takes pictures as the awkward moments and that guy who is always there to talk and listen. That person who is never happy with where he sits? I am that person. I am always curious whats beyond the horizon or over that hill. I am always watching and always listening. I try to capture as much as I can with my camera, but a person can only catch so much.

If I get involved in a good conversation I am content with having a good beer and talking for the entire night until the sun rises. I like to think that I am an open minded and open spirited person. Always interested in a story and interested in a new opinion.

PHILOSOPHY

live the life you love and love the life you live!

I try and approach every moment in life as a way for something awesome to happen. I try to live a life that provides me to share stories of ridiculous, crazy, interesting, captivating, and heartfelt moments throughout life. We are all on this planet and we all have out different backgrounds, I love sharing these backgrounds and hearing about others!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to share my southern hospitality culture with people. It is more than just an accent, it is a way of live and an understanding how people should treat each other on a basic level. I will offer as much to you and expect the same in return. I will teach you about something random and something quirky.

Teach, Learn, Share

If staying with someone or someone staying with me. I want to have great conversations and eventually become tied with people all over the world in sharing my ideas and my knowledge of all the random things I know.

I can offer someone knowledge on music. I have taken a few music history classes and really enjoy sharing local music that is hard to come by.
