Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Do as much as I can while I can wherever I can with whomever!
ABOUT ME
First, I'm not big on describing myself. Having worked in advertising, the proof is in the pudding and not in some random words. Case in point (go on, click on it, its funny): http://techcomic.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/funny-facebook-fails-the-facebook-you.jpg
So, while trying to be honest without sounding like a douche.... I've lived all over Asia and North America, now doing some time in Europe so I want to see as much as I can! I don't smoke unless I'm drinking, have a difficult time juggling responsibility and my urge to party, not so good at small talk but great with deep or big issues, wish I was taller, have chest hair that has made people want to skin me and put my pelt in front of a roaring fire, am an optimist and truly believe in the inherent good in everyone.
Man, I hate writing these things.....
PHILOSOPHY
Philosophizing is nice - going out there and living your philosophy every day is nicer.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Meeting wonderful people, travelling for free, getting local knowledge and having a great time - what's not to like?!?!
Interests
the outdoors, new places & people, heavy-handed sarcasm, adrenaline, dive bars, cooking, any alcohol (except white wine, sambucca and ouzo..... ask me about it sometime!), live music, live events of any kind, various sports, games of all sorts, stickin' it to the man, realizing that I am the man to whom people are sticking it to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Just one thing??? Hm.... well, not the most thrilling but probably with the most impact on someone else, I saved a stranger's life a few years back by pulling her off her bike a second before a garbage truck ran her over. Sadly, her bike did not survive the accident.
