CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world, and to never stop learning

ABOUT ME

I have many passions and I never get bored. I feel most at home in the woods, either hiking or climbing. I love building things and working with my hands. I am addicted to extreme sports. I appreciate directness and open honesty. I can laugh at most things in life. I enjoy interesting and meaningful conversations. I am not afraid to make a fool out of myself in public. I believe in challenging myself and taking advantage of the many opportunities that this world has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

"to be nobody - but - myself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make me everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting"
-- ee cummings

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed my way around eastern Europe and eastern Africa, and every experience so far has been unique and positive!

As for hosting, I change my location every couple months and so haven't had the space to host yet, but I'm looking forward to that changing in the near future (specifically in October 2010)!

Interests

I have too many interests to list, but here are some of my regular activities: Rock climbing, dancing (mostly hip hop and african dance), hiking, running, yoga, aikido, pool, american football, real football (aka soccer), rugby, motorcycles, singing (badly), memorizing song lyrics, breaking things, putting them back together, wandering, heights, jumping from heights.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn anything and everything. And am determined enough to put in the time to follow through.

In exchange, I can teach you the thriller dance, all the lyrics to Billy Joel's "we didn't start the fire," how to play rugby, the Rubik's cube algorithm, and an infinite amount of useless yet fun games I've picked up from summer camps and hiking trips. Basically, nothing you need to know, but everything you want to know :)
