CURRENT MISSION

Trying to have an awesome time no matter what the universe throws my way. I want travel and meet as many people and see as many places as I can. I've realized I like moving around. Being stagnant is not for me, haha. I also want to share my illustrations, art, writing and photography with the world and see everything you all have to show me.

ABOUT ME
I love to have a good time. I enjoy tippin a drink back with friends. I love drinking delicious beers, IPA's specifically. I also love a nice whiskey or margarita on the rocks as well. I like doing anything I can drink and participate in. I like doing anything outdoors, I enjoy playing petanque, rock climbing, running, hiking, rafting, shooting pool, etc. I really enjoy going to shows. Seeing live music and stand up comedy is definitely a great night out for me. I do some of my own stand up as well. I enjoy writing, art, music, dancing, photography, and traveling- obviously, ha. I like to joke around. I very much enjoy sarcasm and witzzzz, and any sort of intellectual conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

developing. but for a general idea:

"€Pass then through this little space of time conformably to nature, and end thy journey in content, just as an olive falls off when it is ripe, blessing nature who produced it, and thanking the tree on which it grew."
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host, and Surf. Currently traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

not much. Ive been to a lot of places, and I've usually always had friends where I was traveling so I haven't had to utilize couch surfing all that much in the past. Ive also seen a lot of hostels back before couch surfing was around. This seems awesome though, and I'm hoping to gain a lot from my couch surfing experiences.

It happens to us once of twice in a lifetime to be drunk with some book which probably has some extraordinary relative power to intoxicate us and none other; and on having exhausted that cup of enchantment we go groping in libraries all our years afterwards in the hope of being in paradise again. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've saved few lives.
I jumped into a hammerhead shark tank at sea world.
I almost got mauled by a pack of bears in downtown Asheville, (maybe that's just a hilarious story?)
I've become a published photographer, artist, and writer. I think this is amazing because it has been a lifelong goal of mine, haha.
I've hiked more than half of the appalachian trail over my lifetime.

Teach, Learn, Share

We should save this for our time spent together

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great time, a fun out, possibly a nice dinner, intellectual conversation, many, many laughs, and the possibility of a new friendship.
