CURRENT MISSION

Experience all that life has to offer

ABOUT ME

I prefer to do awesome things like stare off into space, mow lawns, drink beer, and sleep :)

Well, not really. That's what I WOULD do if I were lazy, but alas, I am tethered to this pillar of punishment I effectively call the military...but actually it isn't TOO bad so just disregard what I said.

Before you think I'm crazy or that I'm some schizophrenic, I must say that I am quite possibly the most normal guy around (minus the awesomeness). Though, it always seems that the people who need to validate that claim never end up being normal. So take it as you may...you have been warned.

Besides that, a few quick things about me:

I'm from the sweet, sunny shores of southern California and I think it's the best state. Not biased at all :)

I get a very warm and fuzzy feeling when I see very neat and orderly things.

I only "check in" to awesome places that make people jealous, like: Mt. Everest, North Korea, Fidel Castro's personal estate, and Kate Upton's bedroom.

I genuinely believe that the most unfortunate thing in life is that there isn't enough time to do and accomplish all the things I want to do.

I think little kittens are super cute, but I don't really like cats.

PHILOSOPHY

Strive to make every interaction a positive experience.

"Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily." -Napoleon Bonaparte

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I'd like to say that I'm an awesome host, but no one has ever requested to stay with me. Maybe I'm too threatening or I just live in the middle of nowhere. I will never know. Besides that, I do my best to be a good traveler/surfer :)

Besides that, feel free to stay any time at my place in Germany.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed throughout Europe and it was an amazing experience. Got to meet some of the coolest people I know and I hope to spread the love and share the wonderful experience with other people!
