About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn Spanish, Escape Stagnation, Love Life

ABOUT ME

I'm an endless learner. I believe that stagnation and doing one thing for too long is how you get old. I enjoy all types of cinema, food, music, and people. I like to take things in (sunsets, art, an elegant meal, an interesting person, a humanizing experience). I like mental photographs because they capture my own emotion rather than the subjects. I like to meet people and enjoy our differences. I prefer people who are not like me at all. Why would I want to hang around myself all day when I can do that on my own?

PHILOSOPHY

The meaning of life is experience. Don't over complicate or aggrandize your experiences and you will find light even in the most trying experiences. It will lead you to wisdom. Wisdom will lead you to peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am searching for ways to participate. Currently my couch situation is dubious but I have put up more friends than most and I am eager to have a couch for a larger group of friends so don't be afraid to ask.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had too many CS experiences through hitchhiking the world and meeting wonderful people. I can't say I have ever had a bad experience. I believe a guest should always leave things cleaner than when they arrived. Be it a home or the woods. One should carry good karma with them always.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a midnight white rainbow. And no, it was not a double rainbow all the way.
