About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learnin' up that knowledge

ABOUT ME

A very difficult thing for anyone to write about because most of what I put here would be very vague, but I'll try to be as specific as possible. I prepare for everything but plan for nothing. I think I've developed 90% of my social behavior from people watching, in the least creepy way possible, simply observing how people interact with each other, that s*** is fascinating. I generally try to only ask questions of a person if I am genuinely intrigued and not out of politeness. Sometimes there is more communication in silence than in banal conversation. Neil Young is my idol. I believe there are cons to every good thing and pros to every bad, just because they are not immediately known doesn't mean they do not exist, its all about finding the balance in moderation. I enjoy showing people around and ensuring that they find their experience here in Granada awesome. I work during the week so I cannot be with my guests all time, but will make sure that they know the good spots to check out based on their financial situation and what they can afford to do.

PHILOSOPHY

Balance is law. Only the really crazy think and say that they're not crazy. Learn something just for the sake of stimulating your mind, regardless of whether you use it or not. I try to do good and help those around me only because I am selfish, I believe these acts enhance my community and those I help will be encouraged to do the same for the people around them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I firmly believe in every place I stay is my temporary community and I always make sure everything that I use is cleaned and ready for the person after me, I will not loiter around the host area, and will be out most of the time, but if you enjoy my company and would like to show me around, that would be great and greatly appreciated.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have non yet, Ive been living in Granada, Spain for five months and anywhere I have traveled outside of Granada I have had places to stay of friends I previously met or just camped.

Interests

The usual ones like cooking, salsa or swing dancing, people watching, running, swimming, hiking, a good book, and once in a great while getting very high and self-reflecting.
